End ‘enduring bias’ towards HE in funding, says think tank

Report urges government to slash fees to £6,000 and redistribute resources to FE and apprenticeships

The “inescapable dominance” of universities is undermining the value and availability of other post-18 qualifications, the EDSK think tank has said in its final report before it shuts down for good. 

The report—titled ‘Augar Reviewed’—calls on the new government to cut all tuition fees in England to £6,000 a year as part of a “major rethink of how students and institutions are funded”.
