Een 'letter to the editor' uit de Daily Telegraph.
Re: Universities under pressure Date: 27 January 2004 Sir - We are very concerned by the potential effect of some of the Government's proposals for higher education on the fairness of admissions to university. The funding mechanisms put in place, the creation of the Office of Fair Access and ministerial rhetoric about factors relating to student background all put pressure on universities to take into account factors other than academic ability when making decisions on admissions. At the very least, a climate is being created where university applicants from certain schools and backgrounds may be left with the feeling that they are being judged other than on their merits. We believe that fairness and high standards are best upheld if individual academic merit is the cornerstone of the university admissions system and that judging academic merit is best left to the universities, independent of financial pressure from the Government or its agencies. From: Rev Lord Pilkington, Prof Stephen Bush, Antony Flew, Prof Anthony O'Hear, Dr Ruth Lea, Chris Woodhead and 11 others, York |

![]() Elite-onderwijs moet volgens hem beschikbaar worden voor de geestelijke elite, iets wat kant en klare onzin is, want iemand uit een arbeidersgezin kan heel knap zijn, maar absoluut geen geld opbrengen voor die Unis. Als hij geestelijke elite unis wil hebben, dan moet hij hoge toelatingseisen formuleren en geen hogere kosten, want dan worden het financiele elite unis. Verder ben ik eigenlijk van mening dat alle unis evengoed onderwijs zouden moeten aanbieden ![]() |

Ah, een bron.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3432177.stm Blair's fee vote on a knife-edge Tony Blair is in the last hour of trying to win over MPs for the crunch Commons vote on his plans for university top-up fees. His chances of victory in the 1900 GMT vote have been boosted by chief rebel Nick Brown switching sides. But Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott told BBC News 24:"I cannot tell you, within an hour of the vote, whether we are going to win." The vote is seen as one of the biggest tests of Mr Blair's political career. 'Confusion' That was despite ministerial sources claiming 30 more potential rebels were now backing the government. Mr Prescott has acknowledged defeat would be damaging for the prime minister's authority. He asked Labour MPs: "Are you going to support it or are you going to put it down as the first step of the Tories trying to win the next election?" The fees vote dominates the first half of a tumultuous 24 hours for Mr Blair in which he also faces MPs after the publication on Wednesday of the Hutton report. Nick Brown's announcement that he will back the government is a signal that at least some hardcore opponents of the government's plans are being won over. An apparent agreement to hold an early review of fees' impact on middle income homes led to the ex-minister's switch. BBC political correspondent Shaun Ley said a deal was brokered by Mr Prescott and Chancellor Gordon Brown - of whom Nick Brown is a close ally. But Downing Street later denied making any significant concessions. Speaking in the Commons, Mr Clarke told MPs the new fees regime would provide £1bn a year for universities, which would allow for an increase of around 30% in funding for teachers. Poorer students would have the first £1,200 of their fee discounted from their repayments or added to their £1,500 grant while at university from 2006, he said. If the bill is defeated on Tuesday evening, he argued that "universities will be stripped of the resources they need to address the challenges of the future".

Nick Brown's announcement that he will back the government is a signal that at least some hardcore opponents of the government's plans are being won over.

If the bill is defeated on Tuesday evening, he argued that "universities will be stripped of the resources they need to address the challenges of the future". 'Fantasy' But former Labour minister Kate Hoey questioned how anyone could trust the government to keep this commitment when "we haven't actually kept the manifesto commitment" not to introduce the fees. Shadow health and education secretary Tim Yeo denounced the measures, saying: "This bill gives ministers the power to decide who goes to which university and to take money from any university which doesn't do what it's told. "Let nobody fantasise that this bill opens a door to more independence for universities ... It brings all universities under tighter political control than ever before." But Tory MP Robert Jackson, who says he will vote with the government, warned his frontbench that the way it had "chosen to handle that issue will be remembered and will be held against you". Phil Willis, the Lib Dem education and skills spokesman, accused Labour MPs backing the bill of "supporting a Thatcherite policy" and of "betraying the principles" on which their party was built. 'No concessions' Nick Brown insisted it was not the chancellor who had changed his mind, saying long discussions had addressed his key concerns. "At the heart of my objections to the bill was this move to marketisation. I am satisfied now that we have that proposal pretty heavily boxed in," he said. The prime minister's official spokesman said Mr Blair was "continuing to talk" to wavering MPs, but he insisted there would be "no more negotiations" on the substance of the bill. Ex-international development secretary Clare Short said ministers were asking Labour MPs to carry out "a very serious" breach of a manifesto promise not to introduce the fees. She appealed to MPs to vote down "this deeply flawed" policy and then begin a debate about how universities could be funded. |

What's the government proposing?
Upfront fees will be abolished (as in Scotland). Universities will be allowed to charge up to £3,000 a year for undergraduate courses from 2006. The amount is up to the university and could vary by subject. Students will repay the money after they graduate and are earning £15,000 or more. They will be charged zero rate real interest on the loan. They will still be able to take out student loans to cover living costs, to be repaid with the fees loan. Repayments are based on income, not the size of the loan - for a graduate earning £18,000 weekly payments will be £5.30. Bron: The Guardian Als ik het goed begrijp betalen ze het collegegeld dus terug na het afstuderen? |

ben er fel tegen. Collegegelddifferentiatie moet niet kunnen. Niet tussen studies en niet tussen universiteiten/hogescholen/andere onderwijsinstellingen. Je moet een opleiding niet fasvoriseren op basis van wat hij kost, hetzelfee geldt voor een instelling.

Daarbij was het incident Blair maar een voorbeeld voor mij om een discussie aan te zwengelen. Ik wil het graag vooral hebben over wat Nijs met ons van plan is.
