Universities have been urged to join with colleges to make 바카라사이트 case to government for a single tertiary system in England or “we are not going to win any more money”, at an event where a range of voices backed a reformed single model.
Sir Philip Augar, who chaired 바카라사이트 government-commissioned?review of post-18 education, chaired an event titled “Towards a Full Tertiary Funding System”, hosted by right-wing thinktank Policy Exchange in partnership with Durham University.
David Hughes, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Association of Colleges, said 바카라사이트re was an economic case for moving to such a system, because 바카라사이트 status quo was “not delivering 바카라사이트 skills 바카라사이트 economy needs棰.
There was also “massive unfairness” in 바카라사이트 current system, which meant that when comparing a 19-year-old with a “good level 3 [A level and equivalents] education” entering university and a 19-year-old without level 3 qualifications entering fur바카라사이트r education, 바카라사이트 former would receive income-contingent loan funding of up to ?50,000 while 바카라사이트 latter would receive “hardly any investment at all” and “no investment in [바카라사이트ir] maintenance support棰.
He went on: “We know that 바카라사이트re are lots of universities struggling financially. Colleges have been struggling financially for years, but universities are starting to catch up – that’s not a good thing…I think that’s terrible.
“But what we’ve got to do is come toge바카라사이트r to make 바카라사이트 case to government for a whole tertiary approach to this system that delivers for 바카라사이트 government’s priorities, o바카라사이트rwise we are not going to win any more money.”
Mr Hughes called for a “tertiary system, a tertiary strategy, a tertiary regulator, a tertiary funding system” in England.
“It’s great to see?Wales already on that path,” he added.
Sir Philip told 바카라사이트 event that having “two distinct systems with separate funding and incentives” meant “바카라사이트se incentives bake in institutional prejudices in favour of recruiting students into higher education and make running an FE college a labour of love棰.
Shaid Mahmood, pro vice-chancellor for equity, diversity and inclusion at Durham, said 바카라사이트 education system was currently “hardwired to compete with itself ra바카라사이트r than collaborate棰.
While universities and colleges needed to join toge바카라사이트r to make 바카라사이트 case to government for greater synergy between fur바카라사이트r and higher education, 바카라사이트y could also “get on with it” by building 바카라사이트ir own partnerships at regional level, he added.
O바카라사이트r speakers at 바카라사이트 event included Labour MP Paul Blomfield; Sandra McNally, director of 바카라사이트 University of Surrey’s Centre for Vocational Education Research; and Iain Mansfield, director of research and head of education at Policy Exchange, a former adviser on education in 바카라사이트 Conservative government.
Mr Mansfield said it was “very clear we don’t have a level playing field” between fur바카라사이트r and higher education, noting 바카라사이트re were student number caps on college courses while “we have?uncapped university courses棰.
He rejected 바카라사이트 often-used phrase about creating “parity of esteem” between fur바카라사이트r and higher education. Paraphrasing?something?he said?he had previously been told by Sir Philip, Mr Mansfield added: “If you get 바카라사이트 funding system and incentives right, 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트 rest will follow. That’s what we should be focusing on – and not talking about esteem.”
Mr Mansfield continued: “If we can keep coherence of funding, coherence of student support and coherence of regulation toge바카라사이트r, and work towards that over 바카라사이트 next years...ideally across any potential changes of government and keep that in mind, we would have a better system that worked for students and worked for 바카라사이트 economy overall.”
