We are also calling for papers and shorter articles for the 
innovative practice section of the Journal on access, 
widening participation and lifelong learning.

SPECIAL ISSUE

A special issue will be published in the December issue on 
Information and Guidance on education and career choice. As 
the widening participation and lifelong learning movements 
expand and gain momentum a key feature must be the 
provision of information and guidance to potential 
students. Research shows that potential students want more 
information about the cost of education: fees, loans, 
benefits and potential sources of financial support; the 
economic returns to further and higher education, detailed 
course information; specific job and career information and 
much more besides. The decline of lifelong jobs and careers 
and the need for a more flexible workforce increases the 
need for education and careers guidance throughout people's 
lives rather than only at the start of their working lives.

Please send articles (marking them for my attention) to:
