Publisher's Synopsis
In this book authors from the United Kingdom and Canada examine how post-secondary education in their two countries is coming to terms with new developments such as the changing role of government in providing education and training, the needs of the information society, the role of commercial enterprises, and post-secondary education as investment in the future. Even though the starting points and traditions are somewhat different,many problems are common to the United Kingdom and Canada, and it is clear from the papers that appear in this collection that much can be learnt from sharing experience.
