Overview

This is Volume XXI of twenty-eight in the Sociology of Education Series. Originally published in 1969, since the war, and especially over the last decade, everyday interest in higher education has been increasing rapidly. Public interest has pinpointed a variety of practical problems implicit in the rapid postwar expansion of higher education. This book examines some of these through a study of the transition from sixth form to further education, and raises such concerns as academic wastage and the influence of social factors on chances of success.
