Abstract	The United Kingdom must invest in a comprehensive system of post-18 education that is broadly inclusive and that offers a broad range of educational opportunities to meet the needs of both the increasing numbers of 16-year-olds choosing to pursue postsecondary education and the many older individuals needing additional education throughout their adult lives. Creating the required spectrum of post-18 learning will necessitate the following actions: (1) meeting the growing demand for employees capable of making their own creative responses to problems/assignments rather than relying on instructions; (2) shifting the balance of courses toward a broader education applying intellectual skills to practical issues; (3) allowing local colleges to make a greater contribution to the spectrum of post-18 learning through programs of applied learning designed in collaboration with local employers; (4) varying patterns of study to meet individual learners' circumstances and learning preferences; (5) developing policy, funding mechanisms, and quality assurance arrangements and criteria for advancement in universities that reinforce the standing of teaching and learning; (6) reflecting teaching's priority in a substantial program of research and development about modern learning; and (7) determining how the cost of higher education should be shared by government, employers, individuals, and their families.
