University tuition fees: what is a fair deal for students?

The Bridge Group joined with the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) to convene a seminar on university tuition fees.

Nick Hillman, Director of HEPI, chaired a discussion with Professor Claire Callender, Paul Johnson, Baroness Wolf of Dulwich, and Lord David Willetts. The seminar covered a range of themes and gave particular attention to:

• The sharp fall in part-time undergraduate participation since the funding reforms of 2012

• Providing a wider range of higher education options to support the labour market and student choice

• Measuring students’ learning gain.
