To What Extent Was the Shift from an Elite System of British Higher Education to a Mass One Successful in the Late 20th Century?

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss to what extent the shift from an elite system of British higher education to a mass one succeeded in the late 20the century. Although the British higher education system was successful in expanding quantitatively in terms of participation rate, it faced challenges to make a shift from its elite higher education system from a qualitative aspect such as a curriculum structure.本稿では20 世紀後半においてイギリスの高等教育制度がどの程度大衆化に成功したのかを論じる。進学率など量的な側面においては確かにイギリスの高等教育制度は大衆化したと言えるかもしれないが、カリキュラムの構造など質的な面においては課題が残る
