The State and the University Curriculum in Britain.
Becher, Tony
European Journal of Education, v29 n3 p231-45 1994
The variety of ways in which agencies of the state influence the British university curriculum, and in some cases extra-curricular activity, is examined. These sources of influence include expansion, structural changes resulting from retrenchment, promotion of market values, intervention in professional education, quality control, and research direction.
