Higher education reform

The Government’s higher education White Paper, published in June 2011, signalled major changes to the way the higher education system in England will be funded and regulated. 

In particular, more public funding for teaching will be routed through the student loan system and less through HEFCE, and HEFCE will have a greater role in regulation and protecting the interests of students.
