 Owldaughter - thesis chapter 1
The report links this growth to "the steady rise in national prosperity" (12), and predicts that the requirements for tertiary education - be it university, technical college or otherwise - would increase from 216 000 places in 1962/3 to 392 000 places in 1973/4 and then to 558 000 places by 1980/1 (Robbins Report, 160-1).
Although the Robbins Report stated as one of its ideals that higher education should not "produce specialists but rather cultivated men and women", by leaving the cultural aspect undefined it eclipsed this concern with technical considerations and thus the warning was forgotten or disregarded.
In the obliging era of the Robbins Report, the weakening period of over-growth that ensued, and the ruthless cutbacks of the Thatcher reforms, specialists in the field of English literature stand as painfully precise examples of those doubting the relevance of their jobs.
