Augar: responses from across higher education

An “attack on working-class learners” or “more education to more people”?

After a 1,000-day wait, the government has today published its full response to the Augar review of post-18 education and funding.

Ministers say that forcing students to begin repaying their loans earlier will help to reduce the amount that is written off. Universities have warned that the government proposals mean they will have to “do more with less”.
