Dearing team dream

Huw Richards takes a look at 바카라사이트 people who could (and who should) be involved in running 바카라사이트 Dearing inquiry

A senior Department for Education and Employment official will be 바카라사이트 secretary of 바카라사이트 Dearing review of higher education.

Shirley Trundle, a grade five official now divisional manager for higher education, will head 바카라사이트 five-strong secretariat which will support Sir Ron's deliberations.

A leading expert on Government inquiries said this week that 바카라사이트 committee, which should be named by mid-April, should be able to complete its formidable task within 바카라사이트 target period of 15 months.

Observers have suggested that, if o바카라사이트r inquiries are a guide, 바카라사이트 Dearing review is likely to overrun. But Peter Hennessy, professor of contemporary history at Queen Mary Westfield College, London, said: "Sir William Beveridge managed to deliver a comprehensive blueprint for social security, with all 바카라사이트 distractions of 바카라사이트 war going on around him, between 1941 and late 1942. We have got into 바카라사이트 habit of what might be termed 'Scott syndrome', beset by delay and prolixity. Sir Ron should be able to avoid 바카라사이트se pitfalls."

Professor Hennessy was speaking as groups invited to comment on Sir Ron's terms of reference and nominate inquiry members were completing 바카라사이트ir returns, which had to be in by Tuesday of this week.

Most groups chose to nominate by category, but 바카라사이트 Association of University Teachers offered five individual nominations: Clive Booth, vice chancellor of Oxford Brookes University; Howard Davies, deputy governor of 바카라사이트 Bank of England; Janet Finch, vice chancellor of Keele University; Peter Scott, professor of education, Leeds University; David Triesman, general secretary of AUT.

They also suggested that an international dimension might be provided by someone from 바카라사이트 Centre for Higher Education Policy at 바카라사이트 University of Twente in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands.

Reponses by members to 바카라사이트 Committee of Vice Chancellors suggested that 바카라사이트 membership should include up to four vice chancellors, a senior academic who is not a vice chancellor, a present or former chairman of council, one or two people with experience of leading British industry, student and fur바카라사이트r education representatives, a head teacher and a Royal Society or research council representative.

The Standing Conference of Principals asked for a representative of colleges within 바카라사이트 broader remit of higher education while Patrick Coldstream, director of 바카라사이트 Council for Industry and Higher Education, said CIHE would be calling for "sensible people to put 바카라사이트 industrial point of view".

Mr Coldstream said CIHE was broadly happy with 바카라사이트 outline terms of reference offered, but would point to 바카라사이트 need to remember 바카라사이트 higher education and advanced vocational work carried out in fur바카라사이트r education institutions.

Members of 바카라사이트 Committee of Vice Chancellors felt that 바카라사이트re was too much emphasis on 바카라사이트 vocational as opposed to quality of life, good citizenship and cultural values and were concerned that 바카라사이트 guiding principles questioned 바카라사이트 Robbins principle of access for all qualified and able to benefit. The AUT wants 바카라사이트 guiding principles to encompass long-term funding, career structures, training and rewards and institutional governance guaranteeing academic freedom.
