Policy Radar – strategic insight from Wonkhe and KPMG

Policy Radar is a new regular briefing on the higher education policy landscape and its strategic implications, produced in association with KPMG exclusively for Wonkhe subscribers and partners.

The March 2026 edition is a beta version of what will become a termly publication. We intend it to become an essential reference point for current and emerging leaders in HE, boards of governors, and organisations working with higher education, as well as those curious about what might be shaping decision-making in HE.

The current edition considers:

• The financial outlook facing higher education
• Collaboration, skills and the Lifelong Learning Entitlement
• Regulation, quality, and the Office for Students
• The International Education Strategy and TNE

We welcome feedback on this edition and ideas for topics for the next which we expect to publish following the May local elections and Scottish Parliament and Senedd elections. Please share your thoughts to the Wonkhe team inbox.
