The UUK Student Funding Panel was established in 2014 to consider the design of the current student fees and loans system in England. The panel is asking for additional evidence and views on how to ensure the higher education system is sufficiently diverse and flexible to deliver an outstanding learning experience to all students.
The panel is seeking comments on the following particular questions:
What evidence exists to suggest that there is unmet demand for more flexible forms of provision?
What are the main forms of more flexible provision that are in demand, and which groups do they appeal to?
To what extent should the current fees and loans system incentivise innovation in teaching?
Are there changes to the system that could be made to improve incentives?
If you would like to contribute, please email Colette Cherry at ccherry@bournemouth.ac.uk before the 8th February.
Many thanks
