This week saw the publication of the wide-ranging post-16 education and skills white paper. Our latest briefing outlines some of the key issues that those working in the sector will be considering.
Among the ground it covers includes:
- Government’s plans to incentivise collaboration and specialisation through a revised research funding system more closely aligned with the government’s priorities
- Further details in relation to inflationary fee cap increases, in future linked to OfS higher quality thresholds
- Further news on the proposed international student levy
- A range of governance and regulatory reforms, including a reformed OfS regulatory framework and greater powers for the OfS
- The possibility of student number controls being introduced as part of future legislation
- Potential changes to awarding powers
The government and regulatory bodies will set out further detail on the next steps in due course through consultations and other publications.
These and a range of other matters are covered in more detail in our briefing.
