ABSTRACT

The question addressed in this paper is why expanding Higher Education (HE) has become the default policy position in England. One answer concerns the reluctance by employers to train. The paper adopts an historical perspective on the policy reviews into this issue which have displayed a remarkable policy amnesia, employers have not been engaged. Consequently, successive governments have fallen back on expanding the HE sector as the main way to boost skill levels.

摘要

本文所要解决的问题是，为什么扩大高等教育（HE）成为英格兰的默认政策立场。一个答案涉及雇主不愿培训。本文对这一问题的政策审查采用了历史观点，显示出了显着的政策失忆症，雇主没有参与。因此，历届政府都没有将扩大高等教育领域作为提高技能水平的主要途径。
