Higher Education as a Market: a problem or solution?
本文探讨英国高等教育市场化带来的问题,认为市场将高等教育商品化为文凭,并提出以尊重和参与的同事关系为基础的对话机制作为替代方案。
This article considers notions of the market in UK higher education. It is argued that the economic market commoditises higher education as the accreditations earned at higher education institutions. The author suggests that, if this is the consequence of the market, then the notion is inadequate to represent the achievements of higher level learners. In its place the author conceives of a mechanism that is built on higher education being a conversation by respectful and involved colleagues, who seek to develop educational relationships rather than transactional deals between traders.
