CES has submitted a response
to Skill Development Scotland's consultation on a new Career
Management Framework for Scotland. Cathy Howieson has accepted an invitation to join the International Editorial Advisory Panel of the British Journal of Guidance & Counselling. On 5 April 2012 Professor Harvey Krahn of the University of Alberta presented a seminar on "Exploring or Floundering? The meaning of employment and educational fluctuations in emerging adulthood". Professor David Raffe presented a paper entitled Widening access to higher education policy in post-devolution UK: Preliminary findings from research funded by the Nuffield Foundation at the Widening Access to Higher Education: Scottish, UK and European Policy Dimensions Conference on Thursday 1 March 2012. This paper was based on the Changing Transitions to a Differentiated Higher Education System project. Reconstructions of Secondary Education: Theory, Myth and Practice since the War has been re-published by Routledge in its Library Editions: Education series. The book, by John Gray, Andrew McPherson and David Raffe, was first published in 1983. |
