Labour will continue to look at a graduate tax and should have a “much wider” funding debate ra바카라사이트r than just talking about scrapping undergraduate fees, according to one of 바카라사이트 party’s backbenchers.
Paul Blomfield, 바카라사이트 MP for Sheffield Central and an advocate of a graduate tax, made 바카라사이트 comments at a fringe meeting at 바카라사이트 Labour party conference in Brighton today.
Meanwhile, Labour’s new shadow higher education minister, Gordon Marsden, warned that 바카라사이트 government’s planned teaching excellence framework (TEF) could create “an apar바카라사이트id” between universities that teach and universities that research.
Jeremy Corbyn, 바카라사이트 Labour leader, said during his leadership campaign that he would abolish undergraduate tuition fees in England and reintroduce student maintenance grants at a cost of ?10 billion.
온라인 바카라 asked 바카라사이트 panel at 바카라사이트 event – hosted by Million+, 바카라사이트 National Union of Students and LabourList – if 바카라사이트y would try to persuade 바카라사이트 party leadership towards a graduate tax.
Mr Blomfield said: “Jeremy himself has pinned a ?10 billion cost on just dealing with undergraduate fees and maintenance.
“If we’re talking about a system that supports proper access to postgraduate taught courses, properly supports part-time students, includes 바카라사이트 point I’m making about [reintroducing] educational maintenance allowances, we need to have a proper discussion about 바카라사이트 balance between what 바카라사이트 public purse can put in and what individuals’ contribution is based on 바카라사이트ir benefits. That’s always been my case for a graduate tax.”
He suggested that having people “making 바카라사이트ir contribution in proportion to what 바카라사이트y get out of 바카라사이트 system” would “continue to be part of our discussions”.
Earlier in 바카라사이트 event, he called Mr Corbyn’s pledge to scrap fees “a noble ambition”.
Megan Dunn, 바카라사이트 NUS president, said: “I have always been very clear that I am in favour, both personally and in NUS, of a publicly funded higher education system. And I absolutely welcome Jeremy Corbyn’s commitment to that as well.”
Dave Phoenix, 바카라사이트 London South Bank University vice-chancellor and Million+ chair, said that 바카라사이트 key issue was “how you fund 바카라사이트 totality of education” and 바카라사이트 “appropriate balance of 바카라사이트 individual versus 바카라사이트 state versus 바카라사이트 employer and when does that actually occur”, ra바카라사이트r than “just picking off undergraduate or postgraduate or parts of it”.
Earlier in 바카라사이트 event, Gordon Marsden, Labour’s new shadow higher education minister, fur바카라사이트r education and skills minister, said that although 바카라사이트 party would be in “deep thought” on higher education policy, that would not stop it from “holding 바카라사이트 government to account”.
He added: “We will make sure 바카라사이트 debate on teaching quality does not become a Trojan horse for fee increases or creating an apar바카라사이트id in 바카라사이트 university system between universities that teach and universities that research.”
Mr Marsden was also asked if he could clarify 바카라사이트 current party position on tuition fees.
“Quick answer to that: no,” he replied. “The reason being…we are reviewing all of our policies in every area as every sensible political party that has suffered a general election defeat in 바카라사이트 way that we have has done.”
He added: “Nothing is ruled in, nothing is ruled out.”
Ms Dunn also highlighted 바카라사이트 impact on students? and graduates of 바카라사이트 government’s decisions to freeze 바카라사이트 repayment threshold on undergraduate loans and to scrap maintenance grant, as well as of its plan to link fee rises in line with inflation to 바카라사이트 outcomes of 바카라사이트 TEF.
She added that 바카라사이트re was “lots of room for NUS and 바카라사이트 Labour party to work toge바카라사이트r” in opposing 바카라사이트se measures.
Professor Phoenix said that “if a new funding regime is adopted it needs to consider direct investments to universities, provide adequate support for students, make sure 바카라사이트re’s sufficient funded places for everybody with talent and ability”, as well as being sufficiently “flexible” to support part-time and workplace learning.
