Recent shifts in the academic landscape including standardization, grading, and new tensions in higher education raise difficult questions for educators regarding the future of access education.This book critically examines various aspects of Access education from a historical perspective. It proposes that there are particular 'Access' values that are shared by practitioners that can be at odds with the needs of higher education. Wider questions concerning funding and accountability underpinned by neoliberalism have also had an impact on Access education. The authors, practitioners and researchers of Access education, gather their insights in this timely book, grounded in authentic experience. They explore the ways in which policies and procedures have been developed in light of these tensions. By drawing particular attention to the voices of Access practitioners and highlighting the current constraints around curriculum design this book will prove invaluable for leaders, administrators, researchers and practitioners in further and higher education.Great debates in higher education.Universities and collegesAdmissionCollege attendanceEducational equalizationMinoritiesEducation (Higher)EducationHigherbisacshHigher & further education, tertiary educationbicsscUniversities and collegesAdmission.College attendance.Educational equalization.MinoritiesEducation (Higher)EducationHigher.Higher & further education, tertiary education.378.161Broadhead Samantha914787Davies RosemarieHudson AnthonyUtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910793423003321Perspectives on access to higher education3802929UNINA
