| Abstract: | This paper examines the respective cultures of universities and polytechnics under the former 'binary' system and goes on to consider the implications of this pattern for the development of the new unitary system. It is concluded that a 'plurality of missions and cultures' will emerge alongside the movement for an elite to a mass higher education system. The importance of a concern for quality in the learning experience of students and what this should mean in practice is put forward as a unifying factor in this diversity. |
