you hear from enough to say that that's something to muskoka i'm still finding out things as they go out there but see it at the end of this week some of my holiday i thought anything new on sunday some of the most infamous getting numb takes on the c.c. this any time to your point that the hundred to some your thank you for time means that i bought it out in the middle of the on the stand because i think. this. i'd what happens elsewhere the jewish unfeeling crease hasn't deterred young english students from enrolling. in one thousand nine hundred eight just before the introduction of tuition fees there were eight hundred thousand students in english universities. there are now two point three million the cost to access knowledge hasn't deterred them so why stop there. they have vice chancellor is already making noises about the cap but he still to live thousand pounds
7:48 am
a year. many are saying that we need to move to an american style system where it's much much more expensive it's not a nine thousand pounds cap it will be much much more but i think what we're witnessing i'm in a cross the public sector in the quezon public sector within the united kingdom within the u.k. it's probably the third phase of competition and privatized marketisation since since the second world war and that's what we've seen in terms of higher education it's a slow creep and when you start to introduce that you get the leadership of universities stop thinking necessarily about the education that they are providing or about the public good start importing the behaviors of what they see is a competitive environment elsewhere within the private sector. manchester's those students we've got many different universities here manchester
7:49 am
metropolitan university university or so forth north west through college of music manchester articulate a million songs we're told in student population is about one hundred thirty thousand students which is pretty much one third of the city our campus year it is almost as big as manchester city center. big division of communications and marketing communicates everything that's good about the university both internally and text and it's developing and it's also professionalizing the higher education sector is probably like behind the commercial sector for some time but it's catching up very fast. our university has its very own starbucks if you're into starbucks if you're into like taking selfies with your starbucks cup and everything this is pretty much the place to go if you go to some where you're going to get a free cookie if you go to mcdonald's you're going to get

a free mc for ian so. saw the city is pretty much made for students so make great use of a student fees have increased from three thousand pounds to nine thousand pounds that does mean that students want better value for money they want more in marketing and help and communicate but what the benefits of an organizational so we always have many many different people coming over we had some professors from many different countries we have also movie directors and everything you know if you want to make a good impression stop you can get a job offers in higher education in the u.k. traditionally like historically communications and marketing have been very much support function what we're seeing now is a transformation where we're moving from a supporting role to a leadership role. and
7:51 am
that's the feeling that as has come very very quickly over the last few years that it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business many universities are now businesses and the vice chancellors are also chief executives and they make no they're not shy in saying this they have to make money they have to make a profit and startlingly what we found is that over a period of five years vice chancellors salaries had increased by on average somewhere in the region of twenty six percent whereas in the same period for your main gate lectures those people are actually providing the service to the students saw their pay drop in real terms by twelve percent well this is a clear normally and you have to ask yourself the questions of why is this happening. reform this is the only system similar to all those worldwide could support paying education rely on an essential concept an economic theory born in the sixty's. and it rose to fame. same at the end of the ninety's.
