Secret bid to lift UKPd3K ceiling on top-ups

Article Abstract:

Key figures in the higher education sector in the UK have been secretly prompted by the Government to campaign for the UKPd3,000 cap on top-up fees to be removed before the 2010 date specified by the Labour Government when it pushed the Higher Education Bill through Parliament in July 2004. While the Government promised that it would be at least 2010 before universities would be allowed to raise top-up fees, sources claim that the Government only introduced the UKPd3,000 limit in order to buy off backbench MPs who were against the legislation and that the Government would be pleased to see the cap gone.

Everybody deserves a chance to go to the ball

Article Abstract:

The Government in the UK continues to treat part-time students unfairly and ignores the difficulties they face, despite the fact that part-time students account for 41% of all those in higher education in England and Wales. The Government needs to face up to the issue of part-time students and develop strategies to help them and institutions that part-time educational services.
