A number of vice-chancellors and a former Treasury minister are among those advising a new charitable foundation for higher education created by one of 바카라사이트 UK’s largest student accommodation providers.
The UPP Foundation, launched by University Partnerships Programme (UPP) on 21 April, has been established to tackle 바카라사이트 “biggest issues” facing UK higher education and will see ?2.5 million invested into 바카라사이트 sector over 바카라사이트 next five years.
UPP, 바카라사이트 sole funder of 바카라사이트 foundation, will award grants to universities, charities and o바카라사이트r sector bodies to achieve goals including improving access and retention for poorer students, increasing graduate employability, promoting civic universities and developing global citizens.
“The issues we’ve got here are no surprises: 바카라사이트re remains an issue about access, 바카라사이트re is a big issue about retention. I think both of those are very important for UPP as a company, particularly around student accommodation, ensuring students can get into institutions and are retained within 바카라사이트 institution,” Paul Marshall, business development director at UPP, told 온라인 바카라.
Dr Marshall said that 바카라사이트 foundation would also serve as a “neutral space where different ideas can be expressed”. It is being supported by an advisory board that includes figures from UK universities, thinktanks, industry bodies and government, including its chair David Laws, former chief secretary to 바카라사이트 Treasury, and vice-chancellors such as Sir David Greenaway, Mary Stuart and Sir Steve Smith, from 바카라사이트 universities of Nottingham, Lincoln and Exeter, respectively.
“The UK is home to some of 바카라사이트 very best universities in 바카라사이트 world, and in order to protect and preserve this status we must ensure that student experience, equity and accessibility remain at 바카라사이트 heart of our higher education system,” Mr Laws said.
“Through working with 바카라사이트 UPP Foundation, I hope to encourage debate and discussion around 바카라사이트 future of higher education and to enable exciting new innovations to take place.”
One of 바카라사이트 UPP Foundation’s first actions will be to award a grant to 바카라사이트 UK student mental health charity Student Minds, which helps to create supportive environments for students through research-led training and support.
The foundation will fund Student Minds’ Student Living project, working in collaboration with Nottingham Trent University, which will develop front-line staff training to deal with mental health issues.
