A man and his missions
Article Abstract:
Nigel Forman, the higher education minister, affirmed the government's commitment to teaching and research. Some of the differences in the three types of higher education will be maintained, although more colleges will become universities and polytechnics will do more research. One in three school leavers will enter higher education by 2000, and membership of student unions will become voluntary. Greater links with Europe will continue, as will greater access for all.

Three goals for Mr Ten per cent
Article Abstract:
The new republic of the Ukraine allocates 10% of its gross national product (GDP) to education. This compares with a European figure of 3% of GDP. In 1993 one quarter of Ukraine's population were engaged in some form of study, 12 million of a total population of 52 million. Reforms to the system in the wake of independence include re-structuring higher education and new types of qualification.

Stalled on the way to the market; slow progress towards European unity of courses and qualifications
Article Abstract:
One of the EC's goals is to have 10% of its students studying abroad, at present the total is 3-4%. Many of these 200,000 students come to Britain. Differences in length and types of courses and little financial support cause problems in student mobility. The qualifications gained in this way are not always recognised in the student's home country which acts as a further deterrent.
