DESCRIPTORS College School Cooperation; Continuing Education; Educational Research: Foreign Countries; *Institutional Advancement; *Marketing; Organizational Communication; *Postsecondary Education; Publicity; Public Opinion; *Public Relations; Public Support; School Community Relationship; *Technical Institutes IDENTIFIERS Great Britain ABSTRACT A feasibility study to gauge support for a Further Education (FE) Marketing Unit provided information on FE's image. Many persons occupying positions of authority in FE colleges in Britain see FE as possessing a negative image. Another group stresses the lack of any image whatsoever. Despite the difficulties colleges experience in recruiting from schools with which they rc...1y be in direct competition, studies do not suggest that FE colleges face major marketing problems in schools. Respondents in a study regarding college- employer relations were almoct equally divided between those who believed relations had improved and those who did not. Government preoccupation with FE as revealed in activity, debate, and publications is only one potential index of public interest. The national press and other media devote little time to FE. Two areas in which colleges create their own images for the public are prospectuses and local newspapers. The overall impression of FE that emerges is downbeat and rather dowdy. A seven-point action program for FE to promote itself involves the following: self-help on the part of colleges; developing a model for an FE promotional body; learning to target market segments; raising FE's profile, developing a high quality services; lobbying decision makers; and adopting a positive approach. (Appendixes include lists of organizations involved and materials used in the study, list of acronyms, and 58 references.)

Getting a high- profile senior minister to address staff in the further education (FE) service counts as a special event, and Mr Baker used the occasion to put across a dramatic, if unexpected, message. He suggested to a gathering of senior college managers that FE is referred to by some as 'the Cinderella of the education service', adding for good measure that FE has `a dowdy image' and 'what is undeniably a low profile' (Baker, 1989). None of this could have startled those who work in and know FE, but by stating it publicly Mr Baker put the FE 'image problem' on the visible education agenda. The minister then called for `an initiative to promote further education', challenging FE to set itself the goal of attracting 'more people into your colleges by selling yourselves even better'. The Baker 'Cinderella' speech was delivered more than two years ago and is (almost ancient) education history. Its author is no longer at the Department of Education and Science (DES). Two Cabinet reshuffles in quick succession have yielded two other education ministers, and the present incumbent, Kenneth Clarke, has produced an FE White Paper (DES, 1991) that is in some respects even more exceptional than the Baker speech: FE is seldom enough the focus of ministerial reflection, but even less often the object of government action. It would be agreeable to think that the White Paper was FE's long-owed national recognition, a coming of age, Cinderella moving into the palace. Not quite. The impulse behind the Paper owes as much to political expediency as to educational vision: the need to tackle an unpopular Community Charge. As a Times Educational Supplement article (Jackson,1991a) suggests, the initial March 1991 decision to take colleges out of LEA control '7 ...showed every sign of being hurried out for political reasons further education accounts for more than £2 billion oflocal government's spending...[The announcement] left huge gaps to be filled in by a White Paper promised in a couple of months' time. It has since become apparent that the May 1991 White Paper was asrushed as the actual decision. The Paper's 107 pages are generously spread among twovolumes, printed with nearly three-inch margins, and include 14 blanksides and 29 whole pages given over to chapter titles (at 18 per centof the total surely a record), with the same three photographs (of specimen students) printed21 times. The Paper's recommendations aim to revolutionise the organisation andfunding of FE by bringing incorporation to the colleges and removing them fromlocal education authority (LEA) control, but much remains to be worked out:funding arrangements; the role of Training and Enterprise Councils (Th Cs); theplace of adult education and the careers service; training credits (endorsedbefore the pilot studies have been completed); etc. There are exhortations on the need to eradicate theacademic-vocational class divide, but few hints about how the necessary cultural revolutionis to be achieved. More general National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are tobe produced, and they are being worked on while I write. A system ofAdvanced and Ordinary Diplomas is promised 'at the earliest practicable date'. On the positive side, the Paper has brought FE out of thewings and on to the education stage, even if not yet downstage centre. Nor arealtered funding arrangements and a new legal status in a public sectorproviding agency likely in themselves to metamorphose popular images and public stereotypes.The Baker epithet persists: Cinderella still awaits rescue. Whateverelse it may or may not be, the White Paper is not in itself an `initiative to promote furthereducation'. For that, much more is required, and, as I shall argue, it needs to come notfrom politicians from those who work in FE. To the outsider, education may appear static, butunderneath change is stirring, even if more perceptibly in some placesthan in others. If there is not yet an FE initiative, grand and all-embracing, there are at least severalmodest efforts in progress (identified in later pages) andperhaps the most important legacies of Mr Baker's talka growing acceptance that FE has animage problem, and an emerging recognition that only FE can change its image andresolve the problem. 8 Big numbers and low visibility In one of GK Chesterton's (1954) Father Brown stories, the murder mystery which has defeated less astute minds is at last solved by the cunning cleric: an invisible man must have committed the crime, someone ...dressed rather handsomely in red, blue and gold...and [who] in this striking, and even showy, costume..

  • Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club 1958
    Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club 1958 - 1966 John Henderson ‘The Boot’ Remembers Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College RFC ‘The Boot’ Remembers When I first matriculated in October 1958 at the Scottish School of Physical Education, Jordanhill, Glasgow to undergo a three year diploma course of training in order to qualify as a teacher of Physical Education, I had no idea that some years later my senior rugby career would turn out to be as creditable as it did. Although I knew then that I was a very accurate and lengthy instep place-kicker of a rugby ball, I was under no illusion that my getting a place in the Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club top squad would be easy, nor did I have any notion then that retaining a first choice spot in the 1st XV for a good number of seasons might possibly occur. However, I was aware of the fact that graduating from College was not the end of the opportunity to play senior rugby for Jordanhill, as former students as players were not only considered eligible, but were also deemed essential in order to maintain a fighting chance for coach Bill Dickinson‟s side to compete at the highest levels possible in Scotland. Thus time was on my side, if only I was patient, and prepared to work hard at the game. But first I had, during my student days, to convince mentors Bill Dickinson and George Orr of my potential, and then, if this was accomplished, to provide consistent proof thereafter of my continuing value as a full back/three-quarter and place kicker in the top side in its annual attempts to win the Scottish Unofficial Club Championship and the Glasgow District Knock-Out Trophy.
