Looking only at fees, indexing tuition fees to inflation raises HEI income per cohort by £587m (from £12.45bn) with HMG picking up 19% of the additional cost (+£109m up from £2bn) and graduates the remaining 81% (£478m)

Before everyone starts asking about increasing the HE tuition fee, and who pays for it (obvs. important!), understanding the impact of the arbitrary fiscal rules that the Labour government has chosen to inherit is crucial. These limit almost all the options normally available.

Very pleased to be presenting at an @AdvanceHE session today on HEI finances for student governors ….. It’s quite packed 😳
We are pleased announce that our study, which estimates the value of the Met Office’s Public Weather Service to the UK public in 2024 to be between £1.10 billion and £1.28 billion, was published today. Read the full study here: metoffice.gov.uk/binaries/co…
We are proud to announce the publication of our recent economic evaluation study of the Met Office. The study identified £56 billion of economic value to the UK from the Met Office’s activities over the next decade. Read the full study at bit.ly/4cRW4tx
Did you know the Met Office returns £18.80 for every £1 of public money invested?
The new independent report evaluating our value to the UK has just been published by @LondonEconomics.

According to @bphillipsonMP "each international student adds about £100,000 to our national prosperity". Correct 👍

We’ve produced new data for the value of international students to the UK, with @KaplanPathways and @LE_Education. Find out how much they’re worth to your constituency - in a small handful of places, it’s over half a billion pounds:

International students make important economic and social contributions to the UK.
According to early findings from @LondonEconomics, every 7 international students studying with us here at the University of Birmingham generate £1 million of impact to the UK economy.

If the Conservative proposals are to eliminate ‘low value’ degrees, why not just pay nurses and teachers more?
That would be a good start.

Since 2014/15:
The total number of apprenticeship starts declined by 33% between 2014/15 and 2022/23 (a loss of 160,000 starts)
There has been a significant shift away from lower-level apprenticeships and towards higher level apprenticeships

The RAB charge on Plan 5 UG student loans for English student is 4% (i.e. following the most recent government changes).
In other words, £1 in £25 is written off.
That’s all.

Probably the most we’ve heard from Phillipson in public on HE for a while. Doesn’t rule out raising fees, wants it more progressive for students/graduates and solution likely to be from within existing system (ie the @LE_Education slide rule). Expect this to come up more in the campaign.
“I am determined that we can deliver a more progressive system without any more spending or borrowing”
Labour’s Bridget Phillipson says increasing tuition fees is “unpalatable”, but does not rule it out

Thrilled - and a bit nervous tbh - to be chairing a session at @The_ACU today. It’s about HE funding - challenges and solutions. It’s going to be interesting to say the least!
