Foundation courses: Narrowing the gap between school and industry

Abstract

Throughout the 1960's and early 1970's there has been increasing concern in industry and in the community at large over the widening gap between the Education Service and the rest of the community. These concerns seemed to be two‐fold. Firstly the education system was not meeting the needs of the majority of students by not preparing them adequately for adult life and secondly the education system was not meeting the needs of our industrial society for a well educated and work orientated population. Corelli Barnett put this into historical perspective in the July edition of Industrial and Commercial Training.
