Introduction
Abstract
Critical insight into FE is not the prerogative of theoretical investigation alone. It is also important to document the empirical reality of FE, and monitor its impact on the ‘life chances’ of students. Consequently, the papers in this section address those factors which influence patterns of student participation in FE, and which also have important bearings on their employment prospects. The evidence presented here demonstrates that there already exists a strong tradition of empirical research in this area, which has numerous implications for future government policy.
