Six policies to make higher education the engine of growth

Read our submission to the Department for Education on Higher Education reform.

IHE is an organisation committed to reform and to the continuous improvement of education through innovation in service to the needs of students, the economy, and society. 

Our submission to DfE is structured around six ready-to-implement policy proposals that we believe will immediately help the higher education sector to make a stronger contribution to economic growth.

Our six policy proposals  

  1. Technical Education Awarding Powers to raise standards in cutting-edge provision
  2. A Rapid Response Skills Fund to balance economic needs and migration
  3. Innovative online and blended learning to expand opportunity nationwide
  4. A Lifelong Learning framework to empower a high-skilled and productive workforce
  5. A strategy to make the UK the home of global professional learning
  6. Flexible tertiary education pathways to promote efficiency and student success

In our submission we explain why reform is needed, what the benefits would be, and how our policy proposals could work in practice.
