A synthesis of key research reports/literature in the area of flexible learning. It covers both the contribution to improving access for under-represented groups (lower socio-economic groups and disabled in particular) and the contribution of different types of flexible/LL Learning to the experience and success of those students within and beyond higher education.

This was a two-stage study which aims to better understand the relationship between young people’s aspirations in relation to education and employment, and the contexts in which they are formed in Glasgow, London and Nottingham. In particular, the study seeks to explore how parental circumstances and attitudes, schools as institutions, and the opportunity structures in neighborhoods come together to shape aspirations in deprived urban areas.
The term ‘aspirations’ is used to capture the various desires and ambitions held by young people about their futures. The research and policy literature is mainly concerned with the educational and occupational goals of young people. Do young people want to go onto further or higher education? Do they want to become doctors, pilots, footballers or musicians? Yet aspirations may also centre on lifestyle or self fulfillment, or revolve around roles in the family or community (such as performing a caring or leadership function).
There were five objectives of the research:
The main challenges of the ageing knowledge economy are constant upgrading of the skills of the active population and mitigating new and old social risks. People in mid-life is increasingly exposed to risks of exclusion from the labour market and lifelong learning. The inclusion of this age group in HE is one of the main challenges of education and training systems. The project aims to study the TLL of HE institutes in several countries with respect to inclusion of mid-life learners. At the core stands a comparative study with concrete example analysing statistically available data, making series of interviews with decision makers, stakeholders, lecturers and mid-life learners. The study will analyse the efficiency of TLL programs to achieve the inclusion of mid-life learners. GU staff: Mike Osborne, Keith Hammond and Muir Houston.
