"Different but Equal"--Student Expectations and the Finnish Dual Higher Education Policy.
Ahola, Sakari
European Journal of Education, v32 n3 p291-302 Sep 1997
Examines reasons behind 1980s separation of higher and vocational education sectors in Finland and the directions of recent policy controlling student flow. Looks at the changing student market and student expectations about the practical versus theoretical orientations of the two sectors. Argues that the "different but equal" policy is an attempt to ease pressure on the university sector. (MSE)
