The report on the changes in the British higher education
1. Introduction
The British higher education experienced a development, changing a closed, elite university system into an open, mass post-secondary system (Scott, 1995, p.1). The university can be broadly classified in to four types: the ancient universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the ‘redbrick’ or civic universities of the 19th Century, a third group of universities founded after the 2nd World War and the ‘new universities in the 1990’s. (Oakland, 2006, p.223) There are many reasons for the rapid expansion in the number of students, changes in the society and economy, contributed to the growth of British education. Which factors have led to British higher education changes are much more valuable to be investigated. The open mass education is a worldwide phenomenon.
This report will aim at analyzing how the British higher education has changed and which aspect of education has changed a lot. For this sake, there are below questions need to be investigated. Firstly, what is the older higher education system looks like? Secondly, which areas of British higher education have changed? Thirdly, how the British higher education changed? In this report, it will argue that the British has succeeded to profit from the open mass higher education system.
At the beginning this report will concentrate on the system of higher education before 20th century. It will then analyse the changes in British higher education after 20th
