University Alliance’s response to the Post-18 and Funding Review call for evidence is published online here.
In answering the questions posed by the consultation, UA’s submission focuses in particular on:
Greater integration between FE and HE: which may help create more flexible study pathways, encourage more innovation in provision, and provide greater local opportunities for students.
The provision of flexible funding to students: through mechanisms such as Individual Learning Accounts and/or the expansion of Advanced Learner Loans, which may incentivise providers to offer a wider range of provision that would allow students to upskill and reskill through various forms and modes of post-18 education, based on their needs.
