Abstract
This chapter discusses the meaning of further education. Further education is any education undergone by someone who has left school, whether in a definite institution or organized course, by self-directed study, or merely through life itself. Great Britain has two separate but related educational systems—one for England and Wales and one for Scotland. Both have their recent origin in the White Paper Educational Reconstruction that was placed before Parliament in 1943. Consultation and co-operation that authorities and Secretaries of State must develop with other bodies, where appropriate, bring all sorts of interests into direct relationship with further education. For example, youth and community-center services link it with important groups of voluntary organizations; student grants and the charging of fees bring other authorities and universities into an authority's purview; and interests outside education, such as industrial firms, the Prison Commissioners, or the Services, and develop connections with it. Such relations are fostered by national, regional, and local advisory councils. Doubtless relations between authorities, industry, and other agencies can also be fostered by industrial training boards and in the field of physical recreation by national and regional sports committees.
