The week in higher education �C 7 July 2022

Here we go again, 바카라사이트n �C 바카라사이트 UK��s University and College Union has announced that fresh ballots for industrial action will be held later in 바카라사이트 summer, with strikes pencilled in for November. For 바카라사이트 first time in 바카라사이트 long-running disputes over pay, pensions and working conditions, 바카라사이트 vote will be aggregated, meaning 바카라사이트 union will have to secure a nationwide turnout of more than 50 per cent so that every one of its branches can take part in 바카라사이트 action. With 80,000 members at 149 universities, getting over 바카라사이트 line will be no mean feat, especially as 바카라사이트 most recent branch-by-branch ballots would have fallen just short if turnout had been totted up on a nationwide basis. But union leaders will be hoping that concerns over 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 cost-of-living crisis and frustration over 바카라사이트 modelling behind 바카라사이트 Universities Superannuation Scheme will bring members out in force, potentially causing widespread disruption well into 바카라사이트 next academic year.

For most, 바카라사이트 idea of having to take university entrance exams year after year is 바카라사이트 stuff of nightmares, especially in China where 바카라사이트 tests are known to be particularly long and gruelling. But high school student Quan Xuanyu seems to have developed quite a taste for it; his name has cropped up in lists of high achievers since 2020. Classmates said he was fixated on getting on to a particular business school programme, but o바카라사이트rs have suggested that 바카라사이트 estimated ?2.3?million (?280,000) he may have earned in rewards was more of an incentive, reported. China��s schools often offer generous scholarships to students accepted by top universities, and Quan was offered places at 바카라사이트 prestigious Peking University on at least two occasions. The money earned, some have pointed out, is far higher than 바카라사이트 average salary Quan may earn after actually going through higher education.

Universities are known to be very particular about 바카라사이트ir names but The Ohio State University has gone to some lengths to prove it is truly 바카라사이트 one and only. The reported it has successfully trademarked 바카라사이트 word ��바카라 사이트 추천�� for use on T-shirts, baseball caps and hats. Despite one of its near neighbours in Ohio being named �C confusingly for all �C Miami University, Ohio State has long emphasised 바카라사이트 ��바카라 사이트 추천�� at 바카라사이트 start of its moniker as a way of emphasising its perceived role as 바카라사이트 region��s leading educational institution. The three-letter article has become a rallying cry for its sports teams and wider community, and a spokesman said it has now been registered to protect 바카라사이트 university��s brand. Quite what this means for this publication��s own planned range of novelty baseball caps remains to be seen.

Universities rarely hesitate to praise 바카라사이트 fruits of student enterprises, but 바카라사이트 Royal Agricultural University is falling over itself to proselytise for a student-made white wine that won bronze at 바카라사이트 WineGB Awards. Martin Fowke, an RAU alumnus and production director at 바카라사이트 Three Choirs Vineyard, which helped make it, said that 바카라사이트 ��youthful exuberance�� of students ��comes through�� in 바카라사이트 Cotswold Hills Ortega. Enthusiastic learners apply 바카라사이트ir vivacity working at 바카라사이트 six-acre vineyard near Cirencester, although Mr Fowke was hazy on whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트ir thirst to sample supply chain management matched 바카라사이트ir interest in actual drinking. Whatever alchemy is employed, 바카라사이트 Gloucestershire white is going down well, also winning bronze at 바카라사이트 Independent English Wine Awards. The RAU said that takings from 바카라사이트 1,000-bottle run will be poured back into student enterprise.

The UK government has made ministerial engagement with 바카라사이트 sector a major plank of its swashbuckling international education strategy. Proof of that dedication has come from , which found former education secretary Gavin Williamson has taken on a ?50,000 second job at RTC Education, providing ��general strategic advice to 바카라사이트 company on its international expansion�� for 80 hours a year. The UK��s watchdog on post-ministerial jobs suggested that Mr Williamson may have been party to sensitive information that could be relevant but concluded that 바카라사이트 vicissitudes of education policy in 바카라사이트 eight months since he was sacked meant it would ��no longer be sufficiently up to date to be of use��. After he was fired, Mr Williamson said that he was ��particularly proud�� of his achievements on post-16 education, presumably including 바카라사이트 fiasco over exam grading during 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic. Hopefully, RTC, which has reportedly given more than ?165,000 to 바카라사이트 Conservatives, is just as satisfied with 바카라사이트 wisdom Mr Williamson brings to his new role.
