Policy and Policymaking in the Unification of Higher Education.

Pratt, John

Journal of Education Policy, v14 n3 p257-69 May-Jun 1999

In 1992, the Further and Higher Education Act unified higher education in England, Wales, and Scotland, ending the "binary policy" that sustained two separate sectors with different missions, funding arrangements, and institutional titles. This article explores factors leading to this outcome and some consequences. There was no grand strategy. Contains 56 references. (MLH)
