The expansion of higher education: A consideration of control, funding and quality

Bathmaker, Ann-Marie

Abstract

Since the Robbins Report of 1963, higher education in the UK has undergone major expansion, changing it from an elite to a mass system. This chapter explores the changing socio-economic context in which this transformation has taken place, and considers how the expansion of higher education has raised issues of control, quality and funding.
