Tracking a group of students throughout their sixth form careers, Pugsley provides a balanced account of the tensions experiences by the students, their parents and their teachers in an increasingly market-orientated higher education society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as part of the \u003cem\u003eCardiff Papers in Qualitative Research\u003c\/em\u003e series edited by Paul Atkinson, Sara Delamont and Amanda Coffey.
