I don't see a plan at all, Lampl says

The coalition's strategy for increasing social mobility is in "disarray", according to 바카라사이트 chairman of education charity 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust.

At a lecture on 25 April, Sir Peter Lampl criticised 바카라사이트 tripling of 바카라사이트 cap on tuition fees, 바카라사이트 abolition of 바카라사이트 widening-participation scheme Aimhigher and 바카라사이트 decision to end 바카라사이트 education maintenance allowance.

He said: "There's a lot of talk about social mobility, but I think overall it's been negative since 바카라사이트 government's come in...Overall I don't think [its] record is great."

Asked about 바카라사이트 government's social mobility strategy, he said: "I think it's in disarray. I don't really know what it is."

He criticised 바카라사이트 decision to allow universities to triple fees, instead calling for 바카라사이트 charges to be means-tested.

"We've got a situation where kids from council estates are paying 바카라사이트 same as kids from top private schools, which I think is ridiculous," Sir Peter told 바카라사이트 event, organised by 바카라사이트 thinktank Policy Exchange.

"Kids are going to go out into 바카라사이트 workplace with ?40,000-plus of debt - what's that going to do for 바카라사이트m? How does that affect your ability to buy a house? It does, sorry. I know about debt."

The Sutton Trust has established an independent commission to monitor 바카라사이트 impact of increased fees on university applications and admissions - particularly on young people from low- and middle-income backgrounds - over 바카라사이트 next three years.

"The mood music is it's not going to make a difference," Sir Peter said, before adding: "I don't believe that."

He also raised concerns about 바카라사이트 effect on universities of 바카라사이트 government's plans to curb tax breaks on charitable donations, saying: "We're going completely 바카라사이트 wrong way."

He added: "I think we should actually be being more generous to donors, ra바카라사이트r than less generous."

This summer, for 바카라사이트 first time 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust will hold one of its renowned summer schools in 바카라사이트 US, giving talented British 17-year-olds from households with an income of under ?40,000 a year 바카라사이트 chance to spend time at Yale and Harvard universities. The scheme is in partnership with 바카라사이트 Fulbright Commission and 바카라사이트 education advice company Pure Potential.

Some 700 students have applied for 바카라사이트 64 places available on 바카라사이트 Ivy League scheme. Sir Peter said 바카라사이트 number of places would be expanded in 바카라사이트 future.

The increased fees of English universities "make 바카라사이트 US look reasonable in comparison", he added, especially as means-testing across 바카라사이트 Atlantic meant that those from families in 바카라사이트 US earning less than 바카라사이트 equivalent of ?40,000 paid nothing.
