Government adds another 10,000 higher education places
The government has stated that it will be making another 10,000 higher education places available for this year. They have also said they are attempting to reduce the time it takes for the average student to pay back the loans for their university courses.
The costs for the new courses such as technology, science and maths will be paid for in taxes but should have no effect on public finances with the funds coming from pre-existing budgets. Universities have been informed they will have to manage their own admissions and that they can offer higher quality places for students using their own system
Due to the economy and the recession students leaving school are finding getting into work difficult, and the government has been working hard to avoid long term unemployment, putting more youngsters through university is one way to get students qualified and busy till the recession passes.
In the UK there are more than 2 million students in higher education. The universities have supported the government act of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) but are concerned that pushing students to these areas may have an impact on other areas such as social sciences and arts.
