No cash to expand
Article Abstract:
The UK is not likely to fund a renewal of a higher education expansion program. Savings from reforms of loans and grants for students are likely to be used by the Treasury and not by the higher education system. There are divisions within the UK Conservative Party on this issue. The UK Labor Party opposes savings which do not lead to an increase in resources for education, argues Bryan Davies, the spokesman on further and higher education for the Labor Party.

Three institutions are near to achieving university status, and they are Cheletenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education, Bolton Institute and Roehamption Institute.
