"What makes our “top” universities top is their world-class research.That does not mean that their teaching is better. It is perfectly legitimate for a university to have a different role – such as delivering great vocational and technical higher education"https://t.co/i2L0wB5cXN

The introduction of minimum entry requirements for access to student finance in England would be “unworkable” and “against the core principles of inclusion”, according to the head of the MillionPlus group of universities. (£) @millionplusCEO @million_plus https://t.co/XfWY6wbV01
