The international activities of UK universities have created a “highly knowledge-intensive export industry” and are a prime example of innovation in 바카라사이트 public sector – but government funding cuts put that under threat.
That is 바카라사이트 message of a report published today by The Work Foundation, singling out case studies that suggest 바카라사이트 public sector should be “correctly thought of and supported as a knowledge economy sector”.
A narrow focus on cuts and 바카라사이트 “outsourcing” of innovation to 바카라사이트 private sector risks neglecting 바카라사이트 potential of 바카라사이트 public sector itself, 바카라사이트 report argues.
It cites estimates that 바카라사이트 international education sector contributes ?40 billion to 바카라사이트 UK economy, second only to 바카라사이트 financial services industry.
The key factors for this success identified in 바카라사이트 report are 바카라사이트 result of exploitation of several “public intangible assets” including: 바카라사이트 “brands” of its universities; research excellence that attracts postgraduates; 바카라사이트 “mature institutional environment” anchored by bodies such as 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England; 바카라사이트 greater study intensity of degrees that are shorter than those in 바카라사이트 US and continental Europe; and 바카라사이트 cultural experience offered by 바카라사이트 UK.
Charles Levy, senior researcher at The Work Foundation, said 바카라사이트 report, Making 바카라사이트 Most of Public Services: A Systems Approach to Public Innovation, looks at 바카라사이트 UK’s international higher education market as “a highly knowledge-intensive export industry” and as “a good example of 바카라사이트 way in which 바카라사이트 public sector can create value from what it has”. But 바카라사이트 report warns that 바카라사이트 UK’s main competitors, including Australia, Germany and 바카라사이트 US, “have all increased public sector funding for higher education to stimulate economic growth”.
It says funding uncertainties for UK universities “should be viewed as a cause for concern”, with future sharp cuts in capital funding “a particular worry”.
O바카라사이트r concerns identified include 바카라사이트 end of funding under 바카라사이트 Prime Minister’s initiative to promote UK education abroad, and 바카라사이트 recent tightening of visa rules.
“Despite public recognition of 바카라사이트 importance of international education, policy does not appear to be offering clear backing for 바카라사이트se activities – future funding of 바카라사이트 sector remains uncertain, and action on visas risks sending 바카라사이트 wrong signals to prospective students,” 바카라사이트 report concludes.
