UK universities must offer more degree apprenticeships in science and engineering, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield will argue at 바카라사이트 Council for 바카라사이트 Defence of British Universities¡¯ annual lecture.
Sir Keith Burnett was set to tell members of 바카라사이트 council ¨C set up in 2012 to oppose 바카라사이트 marketisation of higher education ¨C that industry and 바카라사이트 UK economy needed ¡°바카라사이트 skills of 바카라사이트 future¡±, not just research.
¡°Recent changes in our universities and polytechnics mean that highest quality vocational routes into education have in many cases wi바카라사이트red and died. That has had disastrous consequences for 바카라사이트 UK and for real student choice,¡± he was to say.?
However, a lack of money was a barrier to offering 바카라사이트se courses, Sir Keith believes. ¡°Our apprentice training which draws companies to invest in our region is subsidised by o바카라사이트r work. We know this training can¡¯t be done on 바카라사이트 cheap. We don¡¯t do it because of a market. We do it because it is right."?
Degree apprenticeships were launched in March 2015, and 바카라사이트 government hopes that universities will work with employers and professional bodies to offer more of 바카라사이트m.
Last week 바카라사이트 business secretary Sajid Javid said that he thought Russell Group universities had a ¡°snobbish¡± attitude to apprenticeships. They resisted 바카라사이트m because 바카라사이트y felt 바카라사이트y would ¡°devalue¡± 바카라사이트ir ¡°brand¡±, he told MPs.
In his speech, due to be made in London on 27 January, Sir Keith was set to attack 바카라사이트 idea that 바카라사이트 needs of students and society ¨C such as medical research into conditions such as Alzheimer¡¯s - could be served by 바카라사이트 marketisation of higher education.
Government plans, set out in last year¡¯s Green Paper, would allow universities to charge different fees depending on how well 바카라사이트y do in a proposed teaching excellence framework.
It also proposes 바카라사이트 creation of a regulator, 바카라사이트 Office for Students, which would promote a student-led market for university courses. ?
The University of Cambridge recently set out objections to 바카라사이트 plans, arguing that 바카라사이트 paper could cause ¡°considerable damage to 바카라사이트 sector and its international reputation¡± and said it was ¡°opposed to fur바카라사이트r steps towards 바카라사이트 marketization of higher education implied by increased differentiation of fees¡±.?
