Higher education in a knowledge society
how to close the knowledge divide
Richard Ennals, Hans Christian Garmann Johnsen
pp. 241-256
In this chapter, Higher Education in a Knowledge Society: how to close the knowledge divide, Richard Ennals and Hans Christian Garmann Johnsen discuss education policy in UK and Norway, and how national conditions might influence the role that universities take in social development. The new communicative reality: mobilisation and education breaking the institutional barriers. They can be met by initiatives like Quality Circles, or a Penny University. The underlying big problem is to what extent universities are really taking a role in reducing the serious knowledge and education level divide we see in western societies.
