Reviews
New Frontiers for College Education: International Perspectives, edited by Jim Gallacher and Fiona Reeve, brings together a unique collection of scholarly articles from all over the world that traverse the broad terrain of College Education. The 15 chapters of the book give a first-hand overview of the role for further education colleges in the context of vocational education on the one hand and tertiary education on the other. It gives detailed answers on the future role of colleges in a changing world and is a must read for researchers, educationalists and policy makers from all over the world. Prof. Dr Matthias Pilz, University of Koeln. The great merit of this collection is to lay claim to a concept of college education and consider its many forms and functions from a cross-national perspective. In charting the changing patterns of college education in diverse jurisdictions, the country studies highlight the extent to which general education, skills formation, apprenticeship training, higher education and lifelong learning is common or central to the college contribution. Debates about whether colleges should pursue comprehensive or specialist missions now have a guiding text. Gareth Parry, Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Sheffield.
