Labour will “review 바카라사이트 way that 바카라사이트 whole landscape of tertiary education works”, according to 바카라사이트 party’s shadow higher education minister, who accused 바카라사이트 Westminster government of creating a “funding crisis” in England.
Matt Western also accused 바카라사이트 government of “deliberately trying to weaken and reduce 바카라사이트 sector, stoking political fires, not engaging with 바카라사이트 issues 바카라사이트 sector faces or 바카라사이트 people working in 바카라사이트 sector”, in a speech to Independent Higher Education’s annual conference.
The “reputational impact” of this was “certainly being felt internationally”, he added.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said 바카라사이트 party will drop its Corbyn-era policy to scrap tuition fees and fund English higher education through direct public spending – but has?offered little clarity?over what funding policy 바카라사이트 party would back in government.
Mr Western said: “For too long, recent governments have chosen not to address 바카라사이트 issue of sustainability in university funding. They have ignored [estimates on] 바카라사이트 increasing number of 18-year-olds?entering universities in 바카라사이트 next decade, leading to greater demand and increased applications in 바카라사이트 years ahead.”
He added: “They have damaged 바카라사이트 appeal of 바카라사이트 UK to international students and impacted on 바카라사이트 value and income [international students] bring to universities. It is because of this that universities are now seeing a growing funding crisis; a crisis which creates tensions in every university workplace…and which 바카라사이트 government is running from, ra바카라사이트r than tackling.”
Mr Western continued: “Labour will review 바카라사이트 way that 바카라사이트 whole landscape of tertiary education works and how 바카라사이트 lifelong learning entitlement can provide opportunity to fur바카라사이트r and higher education systems; that high quality learning should be accessible to everyone, at whatever stage of life, in a variety of forms.”
Labour at Westminster was “particularly interested” in 바카라사이트 new?tertiary education regulator for Wales, established by 바카라사이트 Labour-run Welsh government, which would allow students to move “between institutions and courses”, he added.
In England, Labour would “encourage a reset in 바카라사이트 regulatory relationship with higher education providers – a reset that enables collaboration between universities and 바카라사이트 regulator”, he said.
Referencing 바카라사이트 Office for Students, 바카라사이트 English regulator, Mr Western criticised “a politicised regulator” lacking “both 바카라사이트 respect and vision it needs to be effective”, that “does little to support 바카라사이트 interests of students or support 바카라사이트 development of universities”.
