Noise Rather than Numbers: Access to Higher Education in Three European Countries.

Davies, Pat

Comparative Education, v32 n1 p111-23 Mar 1996

Explores alternative arrangements for adult access to higher education in England and Wales, France, and Germany, and examines the impact of such arrangements on the relationship between the state and higher education. Draws on Weiler's theory of compensatory legitimation to explain why the noise about such policy innovations is louder than the numbers warrant. Contains 32 references. (Author/SV)
