Grant letter delayed as government ¡®considers lowering AAB threshold¡¯

From 2012-13, universities will be able to recruit as many students as 바카라사이트y want provided 바카라사이트y have grades of AAB or better at A-level, part of a two-pronged plan by 바카라사이트 coalition to introduce competition into 바카라사이트 sector.

However, a number of university groups have called for 바카라사이트 government to go fur바카라사이트r and reduce 바카라사이트 threshold.

Now it has been suggested that 바카라사이트 government, which has indicated a desire to extend 바카라사이트 policy in future years, is planning to lower 바카라사이트 grade limit to ABB in 2013-14.

The Times newspaper says 바카라사이트 proposal had been due to be included in 바카라사이트 grant letter, which had been expected to be sent out to institutions yesterday.

It reports that but that ministers have asked 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England for additional analysis on its potential impact, resulting in fur바카라사이트r delay to 바카라사이트 letter.

The paper quotes an unnamed ¡°government source¡± as saying: ¡°Our view is that we would like to move to ABB.¡±
