  This text sets out to examine how further education for students with learning difficulties has emerged from the shadows of an essentially elitist education system. It explores some of the issues which are shaping the entitlement to FE for these students in the 1990s. For many people, the change that further education and training has undergone in recent years has been interpreted in terms of developing opportunities for student choice , rights and entitlements . Others have been more sceptical, perceiving a reduction of educational opportunity at the expense of market-led notions of efficiency . The book explores aspects of these concerns, including staff development, and teaching and learning in this comparatively new area of work.
