A WIDE RANGE of further and higher education colleges offer courses to a varied section of the public of mixed ages and abilities. Originally established to provide the vocational and technical training necessary for a new diversity of trades, they offered subjects not within the scope of the established school system. Today, this function is maintained, with considerable expansion in their general educational work, and most offer comprehensive GCE O and A level studies, in a choice of more subjects than available in local schools.
