Student Retention and Success in Higher Education: Institutional Change for the 21st Century

Editat de Mahsood Shah, Sally Kift, Liz Thomas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 sep 2022
This book draws together international research to assess the quality of successful efforts to retain students. The editors and contributors unite diverse global research from countries who have led student retention and success projects at national, institutional, faculty or program level with positive outcomes. The book is underpinned by the philosophy that a more diverse student population requires higher education institutions to fundamentally change, in order to facilitate the success of all students. All of humanity, its economies and societies, are being pummelled by waves of pandemic-induced crises in tandem with globalisation and demographic shifts. Ultimately, this book acts as a clarion to higher education institutions to better support and retain their students, in order to create a more stable learning environment.

“Going to university changes your life for the better, but dropping out worsens your future prospects more considerably than if you had never been at all. So, we have a moral and social responsibility to help all students to thrive. This strongly values and research-led book shows us why and how we can do this. It is essential reading for that reason”.
Helen E. Higson, Provost and Deputy Vice Chancellor, Aston University, UK
