  1. FurtherHigher Education: the next phase Gareth Parry University of Sheffield

  2. According to the text On HE in FECs in 2006-11, HEFCE will: • expect increased activity • strengthen provision (and progression) • streamline funding and monitoring • support new QA method • encourage closer relationships with HEIs • work with LSC (and assorted others)

  3. Before 2011 • Mainstreaming: key requirements (for all) • Clearing: small pockets • Strengthening: centres for excellence • Stabilising: partnerships (for the many) • Awarding: specific powers (for the few) • Combining: employer engagement and widening participation

  4. After 2011 • Demographic decline (certainly) • Fee deregulation (perhaps) • Increased competition (serious) • Selective intervention (regionally) • Rediscovery of adults (again) • Survival of sectors (probably)

  5. What of the English experiment? • Breaking the traditional pattern of demand, with public-private orchestration • Increasing differentiation, without formal stratification • Controlling the range, alongside diversity of mission

  6. Some questions (1) Are colleges and universities part of a common enterprise? (2) Why should colleges trust in relationships with universities? (3) Is the college contribution to higher education sustainable?
