- Title
THE RETURN TO A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN GREAT BRITAIN.
- Authors
O'Leary, Nigel C.; Sloane, Peter J.
- Abstract
The article focuses on university education in Great Britain. There has been a substantial increase in the number of individuals obtaining a degree in Great Britain. The proportion of young people studying full-time in universities increased from 13 percent in 1980 to 33 percent in 2000 and the Labour Government has expressed a desire to see this figure rise to 50 percent. In the White Paper "The Future of Higher Education," the government announced its intention to introduce from 2006 a new Graduate Contribution Scheme under which universities would be allowed to charge fees up to 3,000 pounds per year for each course with payments by students deferred until after they had graduated.
