Higher education in Australia and Britain: what lessons?

Article Abstract:

Australia's higher education funding policy provides a viable model for a similar program in the United Kingdom. University-set fees within a regulatory structure shift inefficient general subsidies to specific funding subsidies. This structure allows funds to be directed to areas were access is the most problematic. The fees are also flexible to permit competition.
