This week on the podcast it’s a special edition as the government publishes its response to the Augar panel’s submission to the post-18 review of fees and funding

We dive into what has been (and hasn’t been) announced, think through some of the implications for universities and students, and consider the politics of everything from the Lifelong Loan Entitlement to freezing fees. And there’s also an interesting announcement on PQA.

With Debbie McVitty, Wonkhe’s Editor; Jim Dickinson, David Kernohan and Sunday Blake, Wonkhe’s Associate Editors and presented by Mark Leach, Wonkhe’s Editor in Chief.
