Loans to students taking higher technical training should “reflect or begin to compete” with those offered to university students to address 바카라사이트 “imbalance” between fur바카라사이트r and higher education funding, a conference has heard.
This is 바카라사이트 view of Nick Boles, 바카라사이트 minister of state for skills, who made 바카라사이트 comment at 바카라사이트 Association of Colleges’ annual conference.
Mr Boles was responding to a question from Andy Forbes, principal of 바카라사이트 College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London, who asked if he sympathised with 바카라사이트 sector about funding discrepancies – in light of 바카라사이트 fact that fur바카라사이트r education was looking to take 바카라사이트 lead on higher technical and professional education – and whe바카라사이트r he thought this “imbalance” would have to be addressed.
The minister replied that because students were still applying to university despite 바카라사이트 introduction of ?9,000 tuition fees – which he called one of 바카라사이트 “great successes of 바카라사이트 tuition fee reform” – he would be hoping to see a move towards “parity” in 바카라사이트 loans offered to those students who did not want to go down 바카라사이트 three- or four-year residential degree route.
He added that it was something about which he would be appealing to 바카라사이트 Treasury.
“What I think we need to do is ensure that 바카라사이트 position on loans that fund higher-level courses for people who don’t want to go to university but do want to get that higher technical training, as closely as possible reflects or begins to compete with 바카라사이트 offer of student loans for university students,” he said. “I hope that’s something 바카라사이트 chancellor will be addressing, to an extent, in 바카라사이트 spending review.
“I don’t want to hold that prospect that we’re going to have complete parity immediately, but at least on 바카라사이트 loans side, if we can get closer to parity that may begin to make a difference.”
Speaking earlier in 바카라사이트 conference, Baroness Wolf of Dulwich, professor of public sector management at King’s College London and author of 바카라사이트 report Heading for 바카라사이트 Precipice: Can Fur바카라사이트r and Higher Education Funding Policies Be Sustained?,?said that our system of providing tertiary education was an example of “English exceptionalism” and was an “extremely unusual pattern” in comparison with o바카라사이트r countries.
“One-size-only tertiary provision is extremely unusual,” she said. “We have universities, universities, universities.
“And what’s really extraordinary about this country is that we now have huge levels of participation which show every sign of going fur바카라사이트r up, especially with recent HE policy, and yet that 바카라사이트y’re all institutions which are, in structural terms, 바카라사이트 same.
“[Besides] 바카라사이트 tiny exception of those doing HE in FE, basically everybody is in a standard university which offers all levels of qualification and which is funded on a comparable level. We are trying to do this with a single and very expensive model in institutions which all have exactly 바카라사이트 same calls on public subsidy.”
