Overhaul plan for foundations
Article Abstract:
Government advisers are contemplating radically reshaping the government's flagship two-year foundation degree, which plays a key part in plans to expand higher education. The proposals have been greeted by accusations that the changes will undermine the rationale behind the qualifications by allowing the work-based elements of the degrees to be diluted.
