After nearly a year of careful consultation and debate, Universities UK have published their blueprint for the future of the higher education sector: 'Opportunity, growth and partnership.' I had the privilege of being one of the commissioners of the report with particular responsibility, with John Rushforth, for the chapter on Financial Sustainability. Our proposal is straightforward - enough unit of resource per student to support the cost of teaching. Universities currently incur a loss teaching UK undergraduate students. We ask for tuition fees to be kept steady in real terms, in other words, adjusted for inflation, with government help to meet the remaining shortfall through teaching grants per student. UK universities provide the best graduation completion rates in the OECD. We are proud of that achievement and are committed to working with the government to keep it so for the future generation of students.
Our world-leading universities spark growth and create opportunity all over the UK, but the sector needs reform to be fit for the future 📈 Today, with a team of external commissioners, we launched a blueprint for change 👇 https://lnkd.in/eNnARrHa
