𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐄𝐏𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 ‘𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐤’ 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 A new report, authored by Higher Education Policy Institute president Bahram Bekhradnia, argues that a reduction in student demand for higher education in England and a decrease in the 18-year-old population after 2030 is likely to result in a “very bleak outlook for many universities.” The report also suggests that previous estimates by UCAS of 350,000 more students by 2035 may now be too high. #pbsa #studentaccommodation #studenthousing #highered https://lnkd.in/daRijm59
