摘要:

AbstractThis article, adapted from an address given in November 1988 to the Centre for Educational Development and Training at Manchester Polytechnic, offers an analysis of some of the problems of developing a coherent policy for research. It distinguishes three types of research, recognises the difficulty of defining an adequate level of support for basic research, and proposes some reforms of current arrangements.

摘要:

AbstractThe publication of the Education Reform Bill in November 1987 intensified the debate on academic freedoms, culminating in the Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) conference of December 1988. The debate displayed much rhetoric and opinion, but added little to our agreement on definitions, and less to scholarly knowledge of the arguments from effects. Without clear definitions and knowledge‐based arguments, the academic community is finding it difficult to explain to its paymasters, whether government, industry or alumni, the implications of what is now happening. Some comments on definitions, a suggested description of the mechanisms involved, and notes on the sorts of effects to which argument and enquiry might be directed are offere

摘要:

AbstractThe government's proposals for a student loans scheme has been inadequately thought‐out and researched. Mr Baker's commitment to increase participation in higher education, and hence to increase the ‘outflow’ of much‐needed graduates, may well be undermined by the proposed scheme. In particular, what has been missing in the debate on loans has been a regional perspective. Northern Ireland offers a useful example in that, despite being the most economically depressed region in the United Kingdom, recent participation rates have already come close to the rate Mr Baker is aiming for in other parts of the country.We cannot predict the effect of the loans scheme on participation rates. However, in present circumstances and under present policies, our guess, based on extensive survey research, is that the proposed loans scheme will diminish participation rates, particularly among those Mr Baker has targeted for special attention. Secondly, the cost of the proposed scheme to the government will be much higher than envisaged. Regional evidence from Northern Ireland suggests that large numbers of graduates will take a long time to earn sufficient salaries to rise above the 85 per cent threshold, if, in fact, they
