Access to Higher Education: The Unfinished Business

by Liz Thomas

Access to higher education and training is a global issue, but as widening participation becomes increasingly important we need to evaluate where we are and what has been achieved to date. In this edited collection, practitioners, researchers and policy makers from Europe, Africa, Australia and the U.S, reflect on how far the access agenda has progressed and where it needs to go next. Covering a wide range of perspectives, tracing historical and international patterns, exploring national trends and deconstructing specific discourses and initiatives, this book is essential reading for all those concerned with international questions of education and social justice in the twenty-first century.
