The Role of the "Technical Fix" in UK Lifelong Education Policy.
Selwyn, Neil; Gorard, Stephen; Williams, Sara
International Journal of Lifelong Education, v20 n4 p255-71 Jul-Aug 2001

However, concerns about social exclusion are predominantly economic, and increasing participation does not mean the same thing as widening participation. (Contains 64 references.) (SK)
