Description

Does the rhetoric of a free market in higher education match the reality of student choice? In this benchmark study, Lesley Pugsley examines how policy initiatives to restructure higher education in the United Kingdom have been shaped by market principles and consumer ideologies. Using qualitative data from students who entered higher education under the Robbins banner of free education, this book tracks different groups of students from various schools as they navigate the university selection process. It provides a deep look into how social stratification and market-driven policies impact the way students engage with higher education systems. This work is essential for those studying the intersection of education policy, sociology, and market mechanics within the UK higher education landscape. It offers a detailed perspective on how structural changes influence student decision-making and the broader implications for educational equality.
