Abstract
The article gives an overview of higher education in Europe and North America from the student revolts of 1968 to the present, stressing its massification and its diversification. Economic insecurity, the author suggests, has made students forgo the radicalism of the late 1960's; however, the poor conditions in which students must study should serve as a warning to the public authorities. The growing complexity of the educational process, including the links between education and future employment and employability, are such that the services of student advisors and counsellors are needed at all levels. Their services will become as important as those provided by the teachers themselves. 1The views expressed in this paper, which are those of the author, do not commit the OECD.
