Securing A Sustainable Future For Higher Education

This report by Lord Browne is a review of England's higher education system, which recommends sweeping changes to the university funding system.

It calls for the current £3,290 cap on fees to be scrapped and replaced by a free market, in which universities set their own charges for different courses. Much of the cost of a degree would be transferred from the taxpayer to the student. Leadership Briefing 5.05 (53)
