AB  - By the year 2000 it is planned that the participation rate in
higher education in the United Kingdom will be 32 per cent, yet there
has been no meaningful debate on how this can be achieved in an
affordable way. It is expected that the present level of resourcing for
higher education is insufficient to achieve the expansion required
without change to the traditional operating characteristics of the
system. Proposes adjustments to the existing system to ensure that the
planned expansion can be achieved while maintaining an appropriate level
of quality. The effectiveness of the proposed system is based on:
opportunities offered to the population measured by the level of
participation; the attainment measured by what is learned and the added
value achieved; and the value for money measured by the unit costs.
Financial projections indicate that reductions in unit costs can be
achieved. The overall increase in total costs of 16 per cent between
1992 and the year 2000 is not judged to involve a significant increase
in the UK′s commitment of 1.1 per cent of the gross domestic product
spent on higher education.
