Description of Whose Degree is it Anyway? |
WHOSE DEGREE IS IT ANYWAY? exposes the ever-worsening state of British universities. Evidence of what is happening in higher education today is presented by the leading players: university vice chancellors and rectors; senior government figures, who have to set and follow policies; teachers in secondary education, who sense prejudice in the selection of their pupils; employers, who cannot rely on the status and meaning of a degree; worried parents, who have to foot the bill, and – at the sharp end – the students themselves and the academics who teach them.
Professor Robert Naylor's timely and insightful portrayal of the effects of financial cuts on universities, coupled with the unrealistic increase in the workload of academics and academic institutions, is reinforced by first-hand experiences and contributions from lecturers, educationalists and students. Together with the online discussion forum, this book will help to highlight and raise interest in the ongoing problems in higher education; in addition, it will inform relevant stakeholders in HE and provide an unbiased forum for all interested parties to discuss the crucial educational issues of the day.
