Реформи във висшето образование на Англия: от публично финансиране към пазарна логика
Higher Education Reforms in England: From Public Provision to the Market

Summary/Abstract: This paper sets out the recent changes to higher education in England, drawing out their radical and far-reaching nature. The fi rst part of the paper describes the proposals in detail in order to identify their key aspects and to facilitate comparison with other higher education systems. The second part of the paper places them in the context of the growth of mass public higher education since the 1960s. It suggests that they mark a radical break with earlier policies and undermine a previously accepted social mission for universities in the amelioration of inequality. The market and its values of effi ciency, investment in human capital, and economic growth are now supplanting the wider public benefi ts of higher education and its role in maintaining a democratic and critical public culture.
