Detailed text to lend itself to higher level courses such as level 5/6.
Lumby provides a useful overview of the historical elements which has informed the way in which FE has developed over the years. I found it particularly useful for research in an area of education which is often missed out. Useful for anyone coming into an FE environment to understand some of nuances of how it operates.
This book gives a good perspective of how to manage in further education and gives a historical perspective. However, it could do with updating now. Although the challenges faced by managers are similar, regulations and reports affect the way colleges operate, particularly regarding funding. The book will be useful for staff to appreciate the role of the manager in FE.
Full of facts and historical information for thoses involved in the running of higher education institutions. However the layout doesnot invite the reader in making it a hard read.
