Lay it again, Sam

Abstract

I would not want to argue that there should be any attempt to match the content of education precisely to manpower needs; it cannot be done. But breaking down the isolation of education for the world outside would be worthwhile, and the relationship of further and higher education with industry should be closer that it is at present. It is not that difficult for a businessman to identify an appropriate department in a university, or to find out who in particular might be able to help with a problem. But the reverse process is infinitely more complicated and difficult. Many lecturers in FHE have established good if somewhat limited contacts, but one simply cannot expect them all to have the time or inclination. So why not see whether it is practicable to establish a contact point?
