Abstract
Current government policy and practice in the post-compulsory education and training (PCET) sector—particularly the emphasis on community participation and social inclusion in further education (FE) derived from New Labour's 'third way' values framework—is examined against the background of community perspectives and critical accounts of current lifelong learning initiatives. Emerging policy is analysed in terms of a Further Education Development Agency (FEDA) sponsored project based at Warwick University—'The FE College and Its Communities'—and observations and speculations are made in the light of the main findings and the challenges facing FE following the re-organisation of PCET under the Learning and Skills Council.
