Widening Participation in Post-Compulsory Education (Continuum Studies in Lifelong Learning)

Both nationally and internationally there is a drive to increase participation in post-compulsory education. Yet with existing participation rates already high by historical standards, it is not easy to see how this can be done. Now Liz Thomas provides a comprehensive guide. From an analysis of the motives for expansion and the reasons why students enroll--or fail to enroll--through to a critical analysis of existing and innovative schemes, the author uses rich and varied case studies (e.g. summer schools, education shops, school partnerships) from a number of countries to highlight best practice and explain the best ways forward.Liz Thomas is the author of 'Widening Participation in Post-Compulsory Education (Continuum Studies in Lifelong Learning)' with ISBN 9780826448743 and ISBN 0826448747.
