Abstract	This book focuses on the past, present, and future of the national framework for the recognition of access courses in the United Kingdom. Chapter 1 is an introduction that discusses framework studies and framework features. Chapter 2 is a review of the bodies appointed to plan and oversee the scheme at the center, including an examination of the perspectives and perceptions of the major players. The evolution of the enterprise is reviewed in terms of four developmental stages or phases: preliminary, planning, operational, and review. Chapter 3 is an account of the implementation of the venture that is based mainly on five case studies of agencies authorized to recognize access courses on behalf of the central authorities. Topics include the following: mandate, structure, and resourcing of authorized validating agencies (AVAs); roles and relationships; quality assurance mechanisms; and curriculum issues. Chapter 4 is a concluding commentary of the character, influence, and direction of the framework. The introduction of the framework is evaluated in terms of the original purposes and principles established to guide the formation and implementation of the scheme. Appendixes include information on origins, methods, and outcomes; chronology of events, 1987-92; and brief outlines of the five case study AVAs. Contains 33 references. (YLB)
