HE and firms must work together to mould graduates able to disagree well

A good piece identifying what should be HIGHER about Higher Education - the development of critical-thinking by engagement during the degree course in the academic discourse which, of course, needs an intensity of teaching rarely found in modern mass under-funded/over-crowded HE systems. See Palfreyman on “The Oxford Tutorial” (Amazon h/bk, p/bk. d/load) as an example of such teaching intensity and also the work of Centre for Tutorial Teaching Ltd in trying to extend key aspects of TOT pedagogy into educational environments much less well-funded than Oxbridge colleges.
