Abstract
At the end of Chapter 8, when writing about the monopoly of teacher education which existed between the universities and the colleges of education in the 1960s, I said that by the end of the decade the monopoly was open to challenge and the higher education system which Robbins had planned could, with the same components, be assembled to a very different pattern. During the 1970s that is what happened.

For a fuller treatment of these changes see three publications of the North East London Polytechnic Centre for Institutional Studies (1982) from which I have quoted some of the above data: M. Locke and M. Russell: ‘Colleges of Higher Education: The Emergence’; John Pratt, Michael Russell and Michael Locke: ‘Colleges of Higher Education: The Students’; Michael Locke: ‘Colleges of Education: Constraints and Opportunities’. For the latest review see M. Locke, J. Pratt and T. Burgess: The College of Higher Education 1972–82, London, 1985.
Cantor treats these changes in the last few pages of his chapter below. With I. F. Roberts he gives more detailed consideration to them in their joint volume: Further Education Today: A Critical Review, London 1983, pp. 104–13.
