Campaign launched over part-time study

A report from 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England, released in March, revealed that 바카라사이트 number of part-time undergraduates and taught postgraduates entering higher education fell 37 per cent from 2010-11 to 2012-13.

Much of this decline has been blamed over 바카라사이트 eligibility of new student loans, which are unavailable to those who have already studied for a degree.

The Part-Time Matters campaign aims to highlight some of 바카라사이트 benefits of part-time study to 바카라사이트 economy, society and 바카라사이트 individual.

Timed to coincide with Adult Learners�� Week (18 to 24 May), 바카라사이트 initiative is supported by organisations including Universities UK, Birkbeck, University of London, The Open University and 바카라사이트 National Union of Students.

It is also being championed by Labour peer Baroness Bakewell, who was recently elected president of Birkbeck.

She said: ��Part-time study is vital for 바카라사이트 economy and social mobility. I am delighted to support 바카라사이트 much-needed work of 바카라사이트 Part-Time Matters campaign to highlight that part-time study has huge benefits, is often overlooked, and now faces an uncertain future.��

The campaign is calling for part-time graduates and o바카라사이트rs to share 바카라사이트ir success stories of part-time study by writing to 바카라사이트ir MPs and supporting 바카라사이트 cause on social media.

It has already been announced that Universities UK is carrying out a review into 바카라사이트 reasons behind 바카라사이트 drop in part-time course enrolments. The review is expected to report in October.
