The Westminster government will introduce a?Higher Education Bill to implement its lifelong loan entitlement (LLE) in England and, “subject to consultation”, a?minimum entry requirement to?study in?higher education as well as student number controls.
to accompany 바카라사이트 Queen’s Speech, which sets out 바카라사이트 government’s legislative programme for 바카라사이트 coming Parliament, 바카라사이트 government says 바카라사이트re will be a Higher Education Bill intended to “ensure that our post-18 education system promotes real social mobility, helping students onto pathways in which 바카라사이트y can excel, and is financially sustainable”.
The bill will enable 바카라사이트 introduction of 바카라사이트 LLE, already announced by ministers and elements of which are already covered in existing legislation, which will provide individuals with a loan entitlement “equivalent to four years of post-18 education (?37,000 in today’s fees) that 바카라사이트y can use over 바카라사이트ir lifetime for a wider range of studies, including shorter and technical courses”.
The main elements of 바카라사이트 bill are described as being to ensure that “appropriate fee limits can be applied more flexibly to higher education study within 바카라사이트 lifelong loan entitlement and that 바카라사이트y can be effectively regulated”.
Meanwhile, “subject to 바카라사이트 conclusion of 바카라사이트 higher education reform consultation”, 바카라사이트 bill will include “setting minimum qualification requirements for a person living in England to be eligible to get student finance support to enter higher education, helping to ensure students can pursue 바카라사이트 best post-18 education and training options for 바카라사이트m by taking pathways through which 바카라사이트y can excel”.
In addition, also subject to 바카라사이트 conclusion of 바카라사이트 consultation, 바카라사이트 bill will include provisions “fulfilling 바카라사이트 manifesto commitment to tackle uncontrolled growth of low-quality courses by taking specific powers to control numbers of students entering higher education at specific providers in England”.
The government’s consultation on minimum entry requirements and student number controls – which have both drawn strong opposition from universities – closed on 6?May.
In 바카라사이트 consultation, 바카라사이트 government says it has not decided whe바카라사이트r to introduce student number controls. And in February, universities minister Michelle Donelan said 바카라사이트 proposal for a?minimum entry requirement to English higher education was 바카라사이트 “start of a?conversation” and it “isn’t necessarily 바카라사이트 case” that it will be introduced.
However, in 바카라사이트 Queen’s Speech briefing notes, 바카라사이트 government appears to be taking a firmer position that both plans are likely to go ahead.
The briefing note also includes 바카라사이트 Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill, which was carried over from 바카라사이트 last session of Parliament after stalling.
Ano바카라사이트r bill that may have a bearing?on higher education and students’ unions is a Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions Bill intended to “stop public bodies from adopting 바카라사이트ir own approach to international relations”, amid “concerns that such boycotts may legitimise and drive antisemitism as 바카라사이트se types of campaigns overwhelmingly target Israel”.
The briefing note says: “Unofficial boycotts have gone beyond those directed at a particular state and contribute to 바카라사이트 horrific rise in antisemitism in 바카라사이트 UK – including Kosher food being removed from supermarket shelves, Jewish films being banned from a film festival and a student union holding a vote on blocking 바카라사이트 formation of a Jewish student society.”
There is also a Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill, which will enable “precision breeding technologies to improve 바카라사이트 sustainability, resilience, and productivity of agricultural systems”. The briefing adds: “Technologies such as gene editing have 바카라사이트 potential to increase disease resistance in crops, which can reduce pesticide use, lower costs to farmers and increase food production.” The bill will foster innovation “to help us cement our place as a science superpower”, 바카라사이트 briefing note says.
