Continuing higher education: International comparison of organisation and business areas
While the relevance of lifefelong learning is growing internationally and is reflected in a changing and growing range of programme and course structures, German continuing higher education (CHE) institutions are unable to use this increased relevance to strengthen their own positions. An international comparison of CHE in six countries shows that types of organisation, responsibilities and the range of “business areas” vary greatly. Especially in Finland and the United States, CHE has a more important status both within and outside schools of higher learning due to professionalised internal structures and a stronger presence in the market. This article looks “beyond the rim of the teacup” to show how CHE is positioning itself in the countries compared and what the implications of this are for the German situation.
