The Value of Higher Education: Full-Time or Part-Time?

Tight, Malcolm

Studies in Higher Education, v12 n2 p169-85 1987

The value of part-time versus full-time higher education is examined in relation to six themes: demand, access and equity; maturity and adult development; employment and activity; residence; cost-effectiveness and productivity; and flexibility and innovation. It is suggested that higher education is seriously undervalued in Britain. (MSE)
