| Synopsis: |
Student support services are designed to ensure the well-being of students studying in higher education and to enable them to fulfil their academic potential. Such services embrace a wide range of activities. They include admissions, induction, personal guidance, academic tutoring, study skills, careers advice, counselling, health and medical matters, chaplaincy and learning support. This report describes and assesses the quality of student service provision in, what was until September 1992, the polytechnic and college sector. It should be of interest not only to teachers, employers and advisers but also to students and their parents. |
