High Participation Systems Of Higher Education

Higher Education has become a central institution of society, building individual knowledge, skills, agency, and relational social networks at unprecedented depth and scale. Within a generation there has been an extraordinary global expansion of Higher Education. By focusing on the systems and countries that have already achieved near universal participation, High Participation Systems of Higher Education explores this remarkable transformation. Part Iof the book explores the growth of participation and the implications for society and Higher Education itself, theorizing key changes in Higher Education and the subsequent effects in educational and socialequity. The propositions developed in these chapters are then tested in the country case studies in Part II, presenting a comprehensive enquiry into the nature of the emerging 'high participation society'.
