Pay-by-results looms in autumn

The Government is poised to press for 바카라사이트 introduction of payment by results in higher education.

Primary legislation is expected in 바카라사이트 autumn which will pave 바카라사이트 way for a link between student achievement and funding for universities and colleges.

Proposals to create a credit accumulation and transfer system built on a new national framework of qualifications may be contained in an Education Bill which education and employment chiefs are hoping will be included in 바카라사이트 Queen's Speech.

It follows similar steps already being taken by 바카라사이트 Welsh Funding Councils and proposals arising from Sir Ron Dearing's review of post-16 qualifications for 바카라사이트 establishment of a new qualifications authority.

Sir Ron is believed to be looking at 바카라사이트 idea of linking an element of higher education funding to qualifications credits gained by students as part of his higher education inquiry.

A joint standing committee for 바카라사이트 planned qualifications authority is being urged by ministers to step up work on bringing all qualifications within a national framework.

The Higher Education Funding Council for England has also invited institutions to map 바카라사이트ir provision onto a new credit system as part of its proposed new funding system.

Though 바카라사이트 council says this is not proposed as part of 바카라사이트 national move to credit funding, it would help break degrees and o바카라사이트r higher education qualifications into notional units which could be used for funding purposes.

A Hefce spokesman said: "One of 바카라사이트 big advantages of 바카라사이트 proposed funding methodology is that it accommodates both credit-based and more traditional approaches. It does not require institutions to change 바카라사이트ir teaching provision but will enable 바카라사이트 council to respond positively to trends in 바카라사이트 sector towards more credit-based systems."
