Above all, facets of the working life, working environment, and other social skills required at work are also reflected on in this report. The author concludes the report with the major takeaways he has from 24 weeks of hands-on learning that will in one way or another provide him with a better picture of the working world that he might join one day.COMMUNICATION STUDIE

Regulating fair access to higher education in England, 2006-2021
No full textIn this Working Paper, presented as a CGHE webinar on 11 January 2022, the UK’s former Director for Fair Access and Participation in the Office for Students, Professor Chris Millward, in a personal statement, reflects on 15 years of work on higher education access in the context of successive changes in the funding and regulation of higher education in England. The paper addresses three questions. What issues have access regulation in England sought to address? How have the access regulators pursued this and what has been learned? How might this change and what might be the effects? Professor Millward finds that the dominant pattern has been one of expanding opportunities to access higher education, but no progress yet on equality of opportunity. The paper also finds that policy and practice have failed to improve access for people entering later in life, part-time, through further education and while in work. ‘Progress in this domain requires universities, colleges and employers to work together.’ Concerned that policy may conclude from recent experience that it is necessary to reduce the number of people entering higher education, the author argues that what is needed instead is ‘a new settlement for tertiary education in England, which enables the continued expansion of higher education to new people and places, whilst diversifying the modes of study and routes taken.

Places of worship: the architecture of religious buildings in New Zealand: an annotated bibliography
No full textIn the words of Cyril Knight, religious architecture:
"shares the vicissitudes of human existence.... [and that] if we sought clearly enough, all these events could be traced in our church building history"
Religious architecture is often awe-inspiring, usually recognisable, and usually architecturally impressive. More than simply buildings, they are cultural phenomena. Much has been written on the topic, yet finding it can prove difficult. The aim of this bibliography is to bring together a selection of sources. That includes any building in New Zealand designed for the purpose of worship, thus church halls are generally excluded. All religions are included
