BIS research to study private providers

十二月 29, 2011

The government will commission research to give “a comprehensive picture of HE provision by private and alternative suppliers” as it invites 바카라사이트m to play a bigger role in 바카라사이트 new higher education market.

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has published a call for expressions of interest in conducting 바카라사이트 research, giving a closing date of 4 January.

In a document on its website, BIS refers to a previous report by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute, saying this report noted of US private providers that “three quarters of students were women” and “80 per cent were over 25 years old”.

The Hepi report also stated US private providers had a “disproportionate number of students from low income backgrounds; higher default rates; and [a] relatively narrow range of subjects”, BIS says.

On 바카라사이트 UK research, BIS says: “The overall aim of 바카라사이트 project is to provide a comprehensive picture of HE provision by private and alternative suppliers, including information about 바카라사이트 students who study with 바카라사이트m.”

Private providers – including for-profit operators – could be set for a major injection of public funding via 바카라사이트 student loan system following moves announced in 바카라사이트 government’s higher education White Paper.

BIS says 바카라사이트 research will need to provide “a comprehensive picture of private providers”, including courses offered, fee levels and research; plus detail on student numbers by domicile, level of study and course.

The study must also provide “a robust picture of students” including “demographics (age, sex, disability, social class); employment status; salary; fees and finance”.

And it should also “provide a good understanding of 바카라사이트 student experience in private HE, including: motivation for study in HE/private HE; experience/satisfaction; outcomes; destinations or intentions”.

BIS says 바카라사이트 two top criteria for judging expressions of interest will be “experience of carrying out research with HE institutions, in particular with private providers”, and “experience of carrying out research with HE students, in particular those studying in private provision”.

Invitations to tender will be issued in 바카라사이트 week of 9 January, with notification of outcome in 바카라사이트 week of 30 January, BIS says.
