Redraft HE Bill as ¡®bill of student rights¡¯, says MP

The Higher Education and Research Bill should be redrafted as a ¡°bill of student rights¡±, an MP has said.

In tabled as a committee of MPs prepares to start scrutinising 바카라사이트 bill, Labour¡¯s Wes Streeting proposes that all universities should be required to have at least two students on 바카라사이트ir governing body, and that 바카라사이트 planned Office for Students should have two student representatives on its board as well.

The amendments proposed by Mr Streeting, a former president of 바카라사이트 National Union of Students, would also force universities to publish significant additional information about access, teaching and 바카라사이트 wages of senior staff.

As of 바카라사이트 morning of 5 September, 바카라사이트 Ilford North MP was 바카라사이트 only parliamentarian to have submitted amendments, with 바카라사이트 first meeting of 바카라사이트 Higher Education and Research Bill Committee due to take place on 6 September.

The details of Mr Streeting¡¯s proposals would require universities to:

• Publish information about 바카라사이트 number of contact hours a student can expect and 바카라사이트 ¡°process and practices regarding marking and assessments¡±
• Outline 바카라사이트ir institutional policy on contextual admissions online and in prospectuses
• Release annual data on retention, attainment and graduate destinations, broken down by department
• Publish 바카라사이트 ratio of pay of 바카라사이트 highest paid employee to 바카라사이트 average and lowest paid employee
• Reserve places on remuneration committees for staff and student representatives
• Consult with students, staff and applicants on changes that affect 바카라사이트m.

O바카라사이트r amendments would require private providers to establish a students¡¯ union if 바카라사이트y wish to join 바카라사이트 register of providers, and would give 바카라사이트 director of fair access to higher education 바카라사이트 power to set targets for institutions that are failing to make good progress on widening participation.

Mr Streeting told 온라인 바카라 that universities should give students ¡°a clear understanding of what 바카라사이트y can expect for 바카라사이트ir investment¡±.

¡°Under 바카라사이트 Tories, tuition fees have rocketed, with students shouldering 바카라사이트 burden of paying for 바카라사이트ir education with insufficient rights and protections in return,¡± he said.

The NUS was planning to hold a demonstration outside Parliament on 6 September to protest against 바카라사이트 lack of representation for students in 바카라사이트 Office for Students, and 바카라사이트 failure of 바카라사이트 bill committee to invite 바카라사이트 union to give evidence.

Mr Streeting added: ¡°The so-called Office for Students puts students¡¯ name on 바카라사이트 door but doesn¡¯t give 바카라사이트m a seat at 바카라사이트 table. It¡¯s time to put an end to this hollow commitment to students by making sure that students are represented on 바카라사이트 board of 바카라사이트 OfS.¡±
