Wonkhe presents – Proceed with caution: Fees funding and the future of higher education
With the review of post-18 education funding now under way, Wonkhe is bringing together the higher education community to discuss the future of fees and funding across the UK.
Throughout the day we will debate the focus of the review and what that means for our institutions. We will discuss the direction of travel of higher education funding, the political context, the balance of taxpayer and student contribution, how we talk about value for money, and how all this may impact on an institution’s core mission. Find the agenda here.
