A tiny step in the right direction: This may make the exam system more efficient But doesn't solve the much bigger problem that students still have to make applications before getting their grades The system needs a complete overhaul inews.co.uk/news/gcse-al...

GCSEs and A-level exams in most subjects set to go onscreen by 2030

UK’s largest exam board's digital revolution plan would also see students taking two more popular GCSEs on computers by 2027

If the government was going to announce the (vital) increasing tuition fees the day before the US election, they could have at least returned them to their real 2012 levels, in addition to index linking them.

📢 University tuition fees in England are set to rise for the first time in 8 years! Our latest CEPEO Briefing Note, by @gillwyness.bsky.social & @richmurphy-econ.bsky.social, argues for a phased approach to returning fees to 2012 levels to address funding gaps! 👉 d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:uc...

First post! Longtime co-author @gillwyness.bsky.social and myself have set out the troubles facing the UK HE sector, and 4 options for what can be done. repec-cepeo.ucl.ac.uk/cepeob/cepeo... Basically both Student and University financing should have been indexed linked in 2012 reforms.

Myself and @richmurphy-econ.bsky.social have written and thought a lot about HE finance. Here is our take on the current problems facing the sector: 1. Restore maintenance grants 2. Begin phased restoration of fees/maintenance loans 3. Dont scrap the current system: it's fundamentals are good
