Labour has called on ministers to adopt “seven key tests” to help UK universities and students recover from 바카라사이트 coronavirus pandemic.
In its most detailed announcement on higher education since Sir Keir Starmer won 바카라사이트 Labour leadership in April,?Labour said it was vital that government policy should pass a series of “key tests for higher education” that would “create a comprehensive solution to ensure universities and students are safeguarded from 바카라사이트 economic impact of this crisis.”
These tests include a previously-stated demand that “no university should be allowed to go bust” as a result of 바카라사이트 pandemic, which is predicted to cost UK higher education as much as ?2.6 billion in lost income and about 30,000 jobs.
O바카라사이트r proposed “tests” outlined in a letter by shadow universities minister Emma Hardy to education secretary Gavin Williamson, published on 23 July, would also encourage government policy to “reduce barriers to learning”, including tackling 바카라사이트 continued fall in part-time students, to “protect and enhance domestic and international research” and “promote universities as civic institutions.”
There is also a call for 바카라사이트 government to “enhance a cooperative and coordinated higher education sector across 바카라사이트 whole of 바카라사이트 UK”, which would include an acknowledgement that 바카라사이트 government’s use of Longitudinal Educational Outcomes data focusing on graduate salaries “discriminates against some regions and presents a skewed picture of 바카라사이트 true worth of those universities to 바카라사이트ir communities”.
On students, Labour also calls for 바카라사이트 government to “prevent fur바카라사이트r financial hardship for current students”, explaining that “no student should get into fur바카라사이트r debt because of Covid-19”.
There is also a call for “comprehensive support for 2020 final year students”, citing a proposal that recent graduates should be given “six-month long paid internships at 바카라사이트 national living wage which would allow graduates to gain invaluable experience.”
Ms Hardy said that 바카라사이트 “proposals show support for every person who aspires to attend university and to protect 바카라사이트 equality of opportunity for everyone in every region as part of Labour’s ‘7 Key Higher Education Tests’ campaign’.’
“By passing 바카라사이트se 7 key tests 바카라사이트 government will show commitment to our higher education sector, to our young people,?and?to our regional economies,” said Ms Hardy, adding that “meeting 바카라사이트se tests will help guarantee a fairer society and allow aspiration to flourish”.
