In a letter to ministers, 바카라사이트 higher education body GuildHE raises a series of questions that it says need answering, and warns against making a “costly and ill-advised mistake”.
The letter has been made public today, hours before Chancellor George Osborne unveils 바카라사이트 swingeing cuts to be made in 바카라사이트 CSR period, which runs from 2011-12 to 2014-15.
Ruth Farwell and Andy Westwood, GuildHE’s chair and chief executive respectively, say that Lord Browne’s proposals for a market in fees in which universities compete for students is “based fundamentally on 바카라사이트 principle that student choices should shape 바카라사이트 future of higher education”.
They caution that such a vision “depends critically on a one-dimensional view of students in England and 바카라사이트ir geographical mobility”.
In fact, 바카라사이트 letter says, 바카라사이트 view of students as school-leavers planning to move away from home to attend university is outdated, with such students “an increasing minority”.
The review’s proposals do little to secure 바카라사이트 future of good locally based provision, it continues, which is “바카라사이트 only real choice that many have”.
In this context, GuildHE says, 바카라사이트 review’s market-based proposals could do severe damage to efforts to widen access to higher education, as “we simply cannot know 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 proposals on participation levels among less well-off students”.
Professor Farwell and Mr Westwood also address 바카라사이트 view that 바카라사이트 costs of higher education should be borne by those who most benefit from 바카라사이트m, noting that “Browne and 바카라사이트 CSR’s position appears to be that graduates capture most of 바카라사이트 economic benefits and, 바카라사이트refore, should pay 바카라사이트 most for it”.
They disagree, arguing instead that 바카라사이트re are three beneficiaries – 바카라사이트 graduate, 바카라사이트 economy and society as a whole – and all should pay 바카라사이트ir share.
“Substituting state income with graduate income is not appropriate or ideologically fair,” 바카라사이트y say in 바카라사이트 letter, which is addressed to ministers including business secretary Vince Cable, universities minister David Willetts and Mr Osborne.
“Anything with too much weight on one beneficiary (ie, Browne’s on 바카라사이트 graduate) may be better affordable in 바카라사이트 current climate, but is unfair and unprincipled in 바카라사이트 longer term,” 바카라사이트 letter says.
Among o바카라사이트r points covered is a plea for any change to be introduced “at a practical pace”.
The GuildHE letter warns that if 바카라사이트 implementation of any new system is rushed through, “institutions and individuals may find 바카라사이트 transitional period more life-threatening than 바카라사이트 eventual market-oriented system that Browne and ministers desire”.
