Capability and Quality in Higher Education

Higher education which focuses on the limited value of education as knowledge and intellectual skills is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.

The new focus is on developing the individual's capability.

This work looks at the changes in the context of improving skills, lifelong learning and welfare-to-work.

These changes all relate to improving capability and quality learning, and the authors debate the issues within the setting of institutional strategies, work-based learning, skills development and assessment.

Real-life case studies are used as examples.
