1980s: the difficult decade: a collection of papers on college administration

The 1980s promised to be a difficult decade for the further education service. Colleges faced a period of nil growth, a period of retrenchment, a period of changes brought about by technological developments and by the economic state of the UK. This collection of papers from Coombe Lodge conferences for principals, vice-principals and heads of departments focuses on some the problems encountered. The papers are as follows: Resource prospects for further and higher education in the 1980s / David Holgate; Sustaining educational leadership / George Tolley; Local authority expenditure and the college / D. G. Morgan; Management information systems (MIS) and managerial control / Derek Birch; The economic survival of the nation and the responsibilities of the education system / J. A. Pope; Microelectronics: its influence on further education: the report of an Association of Principals of Colleges Working Party / chaired by K. J. Dean.
