Changes in the post-sixteen sector at the time forced colleges to concentrate on organisational and management structures, diverting attention away from the educational aspects of their work. However, it was important to reconsider the purposes and values of further education. First published in 1993, Further Education in the Market Place argues that in order to be truly successful, colleges must match sensitivity to community needs, sympathy for the educational and training needs of reluctant learners, and accessibility and responsiveness to individual differences with the sought-after emphasis on efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
