ABSTRACT
The anticipated massive growth in higher education during the next decade makes it inevitable that the provision of a more flexible and rational administrative framework for higher education as a whole becomes a matter of priority. In any attempt to assess the future development of a major educational sector like further education, it is necessary to make a number of basic assumptions. Compared to higher education, rate of growth of non-advanced courses in further education is likely to be considerably less. In the meantime, it behoves teachers in further education to acquaint themselves with those curricular developments in the schools which are likely to have a direct effect upon them. A major area in which considerable changes are bound to take place in the next ten years is the administrative structure of further education. In the provision of life-long learning’, the role of the further education sector will be of cardinal and growing importance during the next decade and beyond.
