Capability and Quality in Higher Education

Higher education which focuses on the limited value of education as knowledge and intellectual skills is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. The new focus is on developing the individualbs capability. This book looks at these recent changes in the context of improving skills, lifelong learning and making the transition from welfare to work. These changes all relate to improving capability and quality learning and the authors debate the issues within the setting of institutional strategies, work-based learning, skills development and assessment.
