⭐⭐⭐
A nice introductory book, but could do with an update as some information is a little dated and a beginner wouldn't be able to determine what is no longer accurate.

Covers a lot of ground in a tiny book. As is usual with these books, it gives you the facts without the fluff. Brilliant for getting an overview of the topic.

Came back to work to GOOD news, that incredible colleagues across the #FoundationYear sector have collaborated to pass a motion @ucu.org.uk congress to recognise the importance of high quality Foundation Year provision.
Student #visa rule changes, a real terms decline in domestic #tuitionfees, the effect of NI increases, cuts and caps on #FoundationYear fees, increased employer-side #pension contributions, restricted #research funding... The list is endless of government's bizarre assault on the sector.
