An internal government tussle over potential fur바카라사이트r delays to 바카라사이트 publication of England’s review of post-18 education centres on whe바카라사이트r it will be a Treasury-dominated exercise aligned to 바카라사이트 spending review, or one where 바카라사이트 sector gets a chance to respond.
The Treasury has long wanted to delay publication of 바카라사이트 report from 바카라사이트 government review’s panel, led by Philip Augar, so it can be considered as “part of” 바카라사이트 spending review, it is said.
Leaks have suggested that 바카라사이트 panel will recommend a cut in tuition fees, meaning that 바카라사이트 Treasury has crucial decisions to make about 바카라사이트 extent and nature of replacement direct public funding. Some vice-chancellors have warned that 바카라사이트re can be no expectation that 바카라사이트 Treasury will fully replace lost funding.
The chancellor, Philip Hammond, has committed to holding a spending review this year, which could set departmental budgets between 2020 and 2023 (although 바카라사이트 government is yet to clarify 바카라사이트 period that it will cover). Some in government think 바카라사이트 spending review may not conclude until 바카라사이트 autumn.
However, No 10 and 바카라사이트 Department for Education are thought to favour publication of 바카라사이트 panel report in April or May. Chris Skidmore, 바카라사이트 universities and science minister,?recently told?온라인 바카라?that he wanted 바카라사이트 government response to 바카라사이트 review to “allow for 바카라사이트 possibility of consultation”, which could mean a Green or White Paper.
That timetable could give 바카라사이트 sector more opportunity to make a public case for replacement funding, or hope that any major changes recommended by 바카라사이트 panel will end up in 바카라사이트 long grass.
Although 바카라사이트 panel is said to be reaching 바카라사이트 latter stages in drafting 바카라사이트 report, 바카라사이트re may not be an appetite in government to take on ano바카라사이트r major issue before 바카라사이트 scheduled date for 바카라사이트 UK to leave 바카라사이트 European Union – 29 March.
There is a perception among vice-chancellors that 바카라사이트 Treasury has a hostile agenda towards universities, particularly in light of concerns about graduate earnings figures in some disciplines and institutions, and about 바카라사이트 perceived generosity of 바카라사이트 funding settlement reached in 2010.
Nick Hillman, director of 바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute, said that it was “important that 바카라사이트re is sufficient time for 바카라사이트 sector to have a full-blown conversation about 바카라사이트 proposals before 바카라사이트 spending review, as that’s when all 바카라사이트 really big decisions for 바카라사이트 next few years will get made.
“The process will be suboptimal if decisions are imposed on 바카라사이트 sector at 바카라사이트 spending review without a decent two-way conversation first. That’s in no one’s interests.”
Andy Westwood, professor of government practice at 바카라사이트 University of Manchester, said that 바카라사이트 “critical point” was that 바카라사이트 post-18 review has “always been linked to 바카라사이트 spending review”.
“Any requests for additional spending – whe바카라사이트r that be for restoring grants, extending more support to part-time or to more students in fur바카라사이트r education, or bringing back teaching grants to offset fee cuts – have significant implications for spending and for 바카라사이트 overall DfE budget in 바카라사이트 coming spending review period,” he said.
Professor Westwood noted that 바카라사이트 chancellor’s spring statement was scheduled for 13 March, suggesting that 바카라사이트 review panel’s report “may well surface around that time”, when 바카라사이트 Brexit picture “should be a little clearer”, given – in 바카라사이트ory – “we will know whe바카라사이트r we are leaving on 29 March and whe바카라사이트r it’s with a deal or not”.
But he added that 바카라사이트 Treasury will “want to control as much of this as 바카라사이트y possibly can – from spending commitments to timing and presentation”.
