LE Education

Very excited to have been awarded a @NuffieldFound research grant! At @LE_Education we'll be looking at how the cost and availability of childcare impacts where parents of young children move to/from and whether they choose to move at all.

We are delighted to announce that @david_phoenixvc has been appointed as our next Vice-Chancellor. He will take up his post in July 2025. Professor Josie Fraser will continue in her role as interim Vice-Chancellor until Professor Phoenix’s arrival. open.ac.uk/blogs/news/aro…

We will be posting updates of our education and labour markets analysis on @le-education.bsky.social from now on.

@beckymontacute Sure, count us in

Average debt on graduation +£1600. Average increase in repayments +£1600 for males grads and +£1100 for females grads. No big distributional effects.

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)

Mention of some of the @LE_Education analysis in here on the student loan repayment system. Universities are in a hole: linking student fees to inflation is the fairest way forward | Peter Mandelson | The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

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 😳

Delighted to have undertaken this important research on behalf of @UniversitiesUK on the substantial economic contribution of the HE sector to the UK economy. Every £1 of public funding invested into the sector generates a total economic impact of £14. The UK HE sector is, truly, a global success story. universitiesuk.ac.uk/what-we-do/pol…

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

@amcgettigan I think that this is it. It suggests one primary fact, namely that the loan system is very poorly explained ….

@LE_Education I could only conclude that some of those interviewed think that they pay 9% on a l l their earnings once they cross the threshold, rather than just the margin.

This is completely non-sensical …… ‘I’d be better off if I hadn’t been to uni’: UK graduates tell of lives burdened by student loans theguardian.com/money/article/…

According to @bphillipsonMP "each international student adds about £100,000 to our national prosperity". Correct 👍 Our report for @HEPI_news @KaplanPathways and @UUKIntl is here hepi.ac.uk/wp-content/upl…

For the first time in more than a decade, I can start listening to the UK news on the radio without fear, and hear about what the grown-ups are up to on the political front.
