Independent Country

There is an assumption in public debate that Scotland and England are drifting apart in social policy, whatever the outcome of the referendum in Scotland in September 2014 on whether Scotland should become an independent country. Three broad examples of policy divergence in education are discussed to examine the claim—in connection with student finance in higher education, with the structure of secondary education, and with the school curriculum. It is concluded that the apparent divergence owes more to rhetoric than to the reality of policy, of public attitudes or of social experience. Despite the origins of a shared educational philosophy in the post-war welfare state, and despite the partisan strife of current politics, a weakening of that state through greater Scottish autonomy does not in itself signal an end to the project of common welfare.

Student Funding

The new English system of student finance seeks to resolve a higher education policy trilemma created by government's desire to switch more of the costs on to students, whilst seeking to promote both increased and widening participation. The rationale for this new funding system is based upon orthodox economic analysis which, the authors argue, rests upon inappropriate assumptions. Survey evidence from recent entrants is presented to support this critique and to question whether the current system can promote both informed student decision-making and widening participation.

É intrínseca a relação entre as universidades e a sociedade, em que uma influência a outra, e ambas são beneficiadas dessa relação. Entretanto, alguns autores tem refletido sobre se essa relação é equilibrada e se a resultante contribui para um ambiente socialmente democrático. Tendo por objetivo contrastar indicadores da educação superior com as reflexões de alguns autores, sob o enfoque do setor público e privado, este artigo levantou pesquisas empíricas sobre a evolução de matrículas em cursos de graduação no setor privado e público, números de instituições de educação superior públicas e privadas, programas de financiamento estudantil e de assistência estudantil. Por meio de análises interpretativistas, concluiu-se que o Estado tem direcionado o enfoque da educação superior para o setor privado, ao mesmo tempo em que tem promovido políticas públicas para o financiamento e assistência aos estudantes que desejam ingressar e permanecer em cursos de graduação.

Abstract: The relationship between universities and society is intrinsic, in which one influence the other, and both benefit from this relationship. However, some authors have reflected whether this relationship is balanced and whether the resulting one contributes to a socially democratic environment. With the objective of contrasting higher education indicators whit the reflections of some authors, under the public and private sector approach, this article raised empirical research on the evolution of enrollment in undergraduate courses in the private and public sector, numbers of higher education institutions public and private, student finance and student assistance programs. Through interpretive analysis, it was conclude that the State has directed the focus of higher education on the private sector, while promoting public policies for financing and assisting students who wish to enter and remain in undergraduate courses.

Finance In Higher Education

In recent years, cost sharing has been on the rise. The growth of mechanisms such as bond issuances, private equity, and philanthropy have marked an increased role for private finance in higher education, but these mechanisms have not been widely adopted. Both students and institutions continue to face credit constraints on worthwhile educational investments. While private finance presents its own risk, if greater cost sharing is to achieve what its proponents claim it can—namely, greater efficiency, equity, and access—private finance will have to play a greater role in overcoming these credit constraints.

Late Twentieth Century

This chapter explores the way in which developments in the apparently rather narrow field of undergraduate finance tell us something about perceptions of the university in the late twentieth century and, more importantly, about how debates over higher education illuminate wider attitudes to the relationship between the individual, the state, and civil society. It also uses these debates—and the legislation they inspired—to discuss the difficulties the state and other actors faced in dealing with higher education in an era characterized by anxieties about Britain’s perceived decline, and about inequities in British society. The tangled and tortured development of student finance in the last four decades of the twentieth century illustrates the value of Jose Harris’s approach, whilst also enabling historians to trace the longer-lasting legacy of idealist thought.
