This book explains the growth of Access to Higher Education, pivoting between the 1970s and today. Comparing Britain and Australia, it examines how hierarchies create new inequalities. Access is a hope that lives on, as long as people demand and support it for a better future.
This book seeks to explain the growth and emergence of Access, both historically and in the here and now as we move into ever-changing times. The book pivots between the 1970s and the present mass HE (Higher Education) system with its hierarchies and elite designations of excellence and quality and which it is argued signify the continuing and newly created inequalities of our societies. It pivots also between Britain and Australia as examples of global difference and similarity with the immediacy of the recognised stranger, who is after all closer than we think! Hope dies allegedly last and the relevance of education is as a hope that can never die and is re-born in each generation. Access and widening participation is a hope that lived in the past and still lives on, as long as there are people who demand and support it for a better future.
