AB  - Examines issues facing further education in the UK in a climate of
dwindling resources, in which greater efficiency and effectiveness will
have to be achieved as colleges move out of local authority control.
Proposes significant changes to institutional structures and management
and suggests local, regional and national strategies through which the
proposed new funding councils, the colleges and other providers of
vocational education/training might work effectively in partnership. The
merger of small colleges into large, multi‐sited institutions is seen as
fundamental to the achievement of maximum efficiency; and strongly
advocates the development of inter‐institutional “networks”
to maximize opportunity for students/trainees. Makes a strong case to
Government to further rationalize the present highly disparate system of
vocational education/training under the control of a single Government
department. Based on the arguments set forth, makes a number of
predictions about the future shape and role of the system.
