Oct 12,2023 10:11 am

universities in England are to give a "value for money", such as £1. 3 billion Per year, the funding may be more support of the "priority" topics.

Higher Education watchdog The Office for students (OFS) is the initiation of the review in the spring.

to cut But it is not the view, to publish tuition fees - with the government's separate response to calls charges.

universities in the UK warns, it doesn't matter how much funding is left after the test, as well as how they are assigned.

The Conservative Manifesto promised to deal with, consider what it calls "low-quality courses" in the University-and the review is how the subsidies are targeted for the priority of the topics.

While the majority of University funding is through tuition fees, the government still provides a significant direct stream of grants.

This includes subsidies for subjects that are more expensive to teach, such as medicine, science and technology.

There is also money for improving access to Higher Education for disadvantaged young people.

currently, the financing is widespread, More Than 300 Higher Education institutions providers.

But The Future of the allocation in the focus and The Money is to be checked by the OFS issue.

The Russell Group , some of the UK's major research universities, says the annual grants represent 13% of the funding for undergraduate places.

The Uni-group, has reduced concerns about these grants, with the argument that the funding for many courses is already stretched.

A separate consultation has already been launched to provide £70m of cuts in the next year of teaching.

But the OFS evaluation was supported by education Secretary Gavin Williamson .

The education Secretary has said, the OFS, he wants to give priority support for the government's industrial strategy, which aims to invest "skills, industries and infrastructure".

There is also a push for more effective ways to spend money, reserved for the recruitment of disadvantaged students and support for the specialized institutions.

But Jo Grady, head of the University and College Union, criticised the value for money is a "obsession with flimsy metrics" round-diploma-results.

"What future employment or income can really tell us about the quality of teaching?", She Said .

But What Remains unknown is how the OFS-evaluation together with the government's promised response to Philip Augar, the review recommended a reduction in tuition fees of £9,250 £7,500 Per year.

The review, commissioned by the former Prime Minister , Theresa May , also called for the further education and skills to a fairer share of the funding.

A spokeswoman for the universities in the UK, warned that any changes to doctrine could be granted or fees, leaving a "financing gap".

"provided The fundamental review of the cover 'how' of teaching resources, but also no matter "how much" education promotion, it will be, especially if the government noticed, changes to the fees," said the spokeswoman.
