Recenzii
Thought provoking book.
This is one of the few books that everyone interested in education -- and not just higher education -- should have a copy of... This book is excellent. Well researched and intelligently argued, it is an authoritative account of English universities setting them in their historical, legal and regulatory framework... It deserves to be widely read by anyone with an interest in education.
A brilliant book, and one anyone interested in higher education should read even if they blame its author for being one of the architects of the current English funding system. This book is enough to make you wish David Willetts were still the universities minister because - and surely even people who disagree with him recognise this - he loves and cherishes them, and wants more of our young people from all backgrounds to be able to get the higher education they want and that will serve them well.
An ex-minster's love letter to universities offers an optimistic verdict.
Peppered with entertaining and enlightening asides and illustrations... a treasure-house.
A masterly exploration of the modern higher education institution... Willetts has provided us with a text for our times.
A reader may wish for a more thorough investigation of potential solutions to these problems. But A University Education is nevertheless an admirably clear analysis of English higher education. To its credit, it is an inversion of most writing about English universities, which tends to be laudatory of the Oxbridge model and unduly sceptical of others. Lord Willetts's book is all the more interesting for it.
It's an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to understand the modern university system, both here and abroad.
Meticulously researched and incredibly detailed.
Magisterial study.
It mixes killer historical facts and sharp policiy analysis (including some criticisms of the coalition government) with bold predictions for the future. Most readers will learn something new on every page.
Blending serious scholarship with reflections on his time as a minister, it's a tour-de-force by a politician who starts with a confession: "I love universities".
Willetts's consistently thoughtful approach to higher education has earned him the respect even of his political opponents. Academics and students out of sympathy with his reforms will need to read his book and engage with his arguments if they are to build a case to challenge them.
Policy enthusiasts will find these descriptions, and meticulous analysis of research funding systems, invaluable.
This is an excellent book.
A super writer, as you would expect, Willetts has a real gift for eye-catching phrases and incisive analysis. His successors in government would do well to read his book - as would vice-chancellors.
I don't think I have read anything better on British universities and their international competition.
Powerful, interesting, and important. A very good read, and full of wisdom.
This is an important book. providing a large-scale, wide-ranging argument across history and across the present There are two strands: a commentary on current issues, and a larger long-term agenda - the role of Higher Education in the world.
His book charts the rise of the modern university and is filled with bold ideas.
