The changing healthcare workforce

• Redesign challenges– Engaging management and the workforce– Reiteration– Scalability: moving from small scale pilot to mainstream activity– Sustainability of education programmes– Synchronising supply and demand– “the crowded playing field”

Changing Participation in Education

Changing Participation in Education

• Decision-making as a socially embedded practice linked to

– Dispositions– Attitudes– Family/friendship-based practices shared across and within generations

The generation game: educational decision-making from an inter-generational perspective

Changing Participation in Education

• Lorraine’s parents– Mother: passed 11+ in 1946

– Father: attended secondary modern school from 1944; apprenticeship

– HE participation rates in 1950 = 3%

Changing Participation in Education

• Lorraine and her sister– Lorraine: failed 11+ in 1970. School went comprehensive in 1971. Left at 16 with CSEs

– Julie: started at same comprehensive school in 1972. Also left at 16 with CSEs

– HE participation rates in late 1970s = c13%

Changing Participation in Education

• Lorraine’s children– Cathy: started comprehensive school in 1992; BTEC at separate sixth form ‘97-99; media studies degree, 1999-2002– Paul: started at same school in 1994; gained good GCSEs, but dropped out of sixth form in 2000 after first year; contemplating an Access course from September ‘07– HE participation rates in late 1990s = c32% (now 43%)

Changing Participation in Education

• Network perceptions of HE– Pride in Cathy’s achievements YET…– Too many people in HE– Graduates accrue huge debts– Graduates still can't get jobs– Should be targeted at 'the clever ones'– Value measured in instrumental terms

• Education as struggle for most of the family

The Challenge to SUHT
