Taylor and FrancisRPCE_A_549743.sgm10.1080/13596748.2011.549743Research in Post-Compulsory Education1359-6748 (print)/1747-5112 (online)Original Article2011Taylor & Francis161000000March 2011Professor [email protected] international, fully-refereed journal, reports on research in the increasinglyimportant area of post-compulsory education.

Throughout the world, there is a growing awareness of the significance of vocationaland post-compulsory education and training systems. The majority of countries areworking hard to develop their provision, recognising the importance of post-compul-sory education in providing educated and skilled people in sufficient numbers atappropriate levels to assist economic and social development.

Research in Post-Compulsory Education, sponsored by the United Kingdom’s FurtherEducation Research Association (FERA), recognises the need for more internationalresearch and analysis and the generation of relevant theory in order to identify policyneeds and trends as well as priorities in this growing area. While reporting currentresearch, the journal also actively encourages the further development of research forpost-compulsory education.

Research in Post-Compulsory Education is essential reading for policy-makers andresearchers, practitioners and practitioner-researchers in all the different spheres ofpost-compulsory education including vocational/technical education, adult andcontinuing education, community education, schools, further and higher education.The Editorial Board and Advisory Board members are drawn from many counties totake account of the need for wide representation and editorial expertise.

The Editorial Board have decided that this is a timely moment to issue a Call forPapers for a Special Issue on Research and Lifelong Learning Networks (LLNs).LLNs are a post-compulsory education initiative funded by the Higher EducationFunding Council of England, designed to address the crucial issue of progression ofunder-represented groups, especially those in employment and on vocational courses,into and within higher education – from schools, colleges and workplaces. As theLLNs move into their final stage, the Board are concerned to showcase the breadth ofresearch that has taken place into and within the networks and how that research hasbeen turned into action.

This Special Issue will focus on research with the post-compulsory sector which hasfocused on progressing vocational learners into and through higher education andwelcomes research-based contributions within the following areas:

● The historical and wider context● Different aspects of the Lifelong Learning Networks’ achievements
