Competitively priced, compact and accessible, each book should prove essential reading for FE lecturers and managers.

DESCRIPTION
In recent years, FE colleges have come to play an increasingly important role as providers of HE programmes. Following the recommendations of the Dearing Committee that FE colleges should be given 'a special mission' in the expansion of sub-degree Higher Education, there has been a marked growth, both in the numbers of students who pursue HE courses in FE and in the variety of programmes offered by the colleges. Aimed at senior managers, this book provides guidance and examples of good practice to support the provision of HE in FE colleges. It addresses the key issues involved in doing so, including planning, organisation, funding, staffing, teaching and quality assurance. Well-written and authoritative, this guide should prove essential reading for all senior managers in FE.
