7:32 pm
well. i. guess. at the end of the twentieth century american universities prevail and who europe is afraid afraid of finding itself on the sidelines it needs a strategy and so european gauges in a series of reforms to make its higher education more competitive so it can serve europe's economy its productivity its job market and its liberal project england will quickly set the tone before anyone else and to get straight to the point. after the second world war we had a system where local education authorities around the country were responsible for providing a grant to students and giving of covering tuitions fees. and that was at a time when roughly three percent of eighteen year olds went to university around twenty thousand. all science students will have their first two terms being
7:33 pm
required to attend lectures on physics chemistry mathematics and biology it will also be possible for science students to major in philosophy knowledge is not bullshit look at what a huge net world one in one and covering all sides of all all places. in the one nine hundred eighty s. and one nine hundred ninety s. there was a funding crisis amongst universities lots of vice chancellors complaining that they didn't have enough money to cover the amount of students are now coming through the system so the government commissioned a report and this was called the deering report and that came up with a number of recommendations almost one hundred recommendations roughly half for the government about how it could. maintain sustain and improve higher education in the u.k. and one of the most controversial parts of that report was the introduction of was

i in one thousand nine hundred seventy the british left led by its young charismatic candidate tony blair wins the elections after eighteen long years of conservative rule. at the age of forty three the head of the labor party takes charge of the country with a program whose foundation is to apply private sector management models to public services so as to make them more efficient more productive and higher education will be no exception. right. we need to widen access to universities get more money into universities and the best and fairest way to do it is a balance between the state and the graduate. face became reality and nine hundred ninety eight and it was a key landmark in the history of higher education in the u.k. because at that moment the principle of free education free higher education in the u.k. finished. for this historic reform tony
7:35 pm
blair introduces the yearly one thousand pound tuition fee a smooth way to start five years later prompted by his second term election tony blair authorizes universities to charge tuition fees up to three thousand three hundred pounds yearly and tony blair. head of britain's labor party successfully passed a reform that the conservatives would never have dared bring forward. in two thousand and ten the labor party rallies the opposition the coalition made of liberal democrats and conservatives led by david cameron take charge of the country very rapidly the debate of a jewish and fees arises on the political scene again this time the government intends to alter ised to ration fees up to nine thousand pounds yearly all the while reducing the portion of public funding and it catered to universities this new reform violently divides both members of parliament and public opinion the have
7:36 pm
been very difficult choices to make we have opted for a such a policy is that provides a strong base for university funding which makes a major contribution to reducing the deficit and introducing a significantly more progressive system of graduate paper and stuff we inherited and i'm proud to put forward that magic so this. order. waste. there is nothing a bank that tiny benefit to the lowest income graduates that justifies doubling or tripling the debt of the vast majority of brides isn't incredible for the past year but that you actually introduce the principle of graduates paying and thank you for two jewish and fee increases is able to drum up quite so much faith and drug issues down there was any young person ask any young person
7:37 pm
in any poor communities in our country what is your prospect what is your what do you want to do many would say i want to study i want to qualify i want to go to university i want to achieve something invite. them. yes they are very cool they're going to borrow money to survive to get through university they simply will not do it this decision matters so much to so many people. i'd say to the house if you don't believe in it vote against it. to the right three hundred twenty three you know most of the last three hundred true. god. was. i.
7:38 pm
was when it was really from three thousand that it became one thousand pounds i was up to the university if they wanted to introduce nine thousand pounds. face or anything between six thousand and nine thousand and unsurprisingly most university decided to set nine thousand pounds most students we have now half a million students going through every year most of those will be paying a minimum nine thousand pounds a year and that's stands today. over the course of fifteen years british politicians are ruling class that had enjoyed free access to education inflicted a paying system on the new generation. british students along with a european fellows now have to deal with these new rulings that's the way it is. they're young they long for
7:39 pm
a solid future that dusty for knowledge and dream of climbing the social ladder all that has a price tag and they'd better get used to it. i need to grow up in a working class family in the south of poland a young woman could have enrolled in a university in cracow in copenhagen or even amsterdam. it would have been free in england and it was granted a student loan to pay for her nine thousand pounds tuition fee. i knew i was going to go abroad to study and i think well for a little while i thought it was going to be scotland but then. i think i decided it was england you know like way back and it just stuck with me and i and i came here and it was it was scary it was so scary because i was away from home i was here alone i didn't have anywhere to turn to and look at me now i study chinese of all
7:40 pm
the crises that i could have chosen i can't wait for you know what the future holds and what i'm going to do i have so many ideas but we'll see. i talked to my grandfather once and they're talking about everything else and then kind of started talking about university and how much money that costs and everything and i had many thoughts about ok maybe maybe i'll quit maybe i'll you know it's too much maybe it's not worth it and then i realized well how my going to pay it back but that's one of the reasons why i stayed and other reason bigger even is that i like what i do i think i'm not quite sure where that came from my need to go to university i think is because. none none of my family members went to university i think i wanted to be i wanted to be that one first person who did that and my mom really wanted me to do that as well she did encourage me strongly
7:41 pm
i don't know what i would do with her if i fail i would i would feel like i failed her and i never want to do that ever. because being here and doing what i do and being university is my way of paying her back problem that she's to me i think that. yeah i'm good it's my way of paying back for everything. and. will the european students be forced one day to get into debt. should education become a syllable good. must juden speak um self-made finance she has to earn an education
7:42 pm
. northern european countries things a bit differently. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to foundation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic developments only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. to prepare the program i had to look at a lot of material listened to a lot of material and also read a lot of material that that was appalling. and not only that when you get these images into your head and of course the images that i was you were far more graphic
7:43 pm
than anything i could include in a in a television program. for manners sitting in a car when the phipps gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way you could have done it there's no possible way because all us do not shoot around a corner. so there's something wrong with that them valid store acting or any of us today on the and on and most of it on a new year to some and last minute between men and men don't think this is. if a man asked mr don't submit all a dollar instead of used to beat it sounds like i was at the very last miss out down to spit. or lick it on to find who found skilling is going to pull together is
7:44 pm

7:45 pm
don't hold their friends photo and don't buy her fur at twelve can ask op us in from paid. tank a feat oke tank. mere danger and i'm a forty four and i said here that the lesson from to. london something. you know. that made me have a heart was that we've got to draw on the thought of the way to go doesn't have to do. you have to start us off kidnap to get out of home how far this because you know mark your stomach was written. if a child if you know man. it was something to behold i told you all the us thing. alone to those trying to solve all summonses not just. or soon to most all sales
7:46 pm

7:47 pm
to you all sniffing out. the side. former state the fourth because i live it and it is just not the most menace i think of the oaks of this lot harder so i think i'll see over your total how this been going on but yes when i was trying to figure it out do you congressman off campus since you have something to muskoka stuff out there just to get a shot there but see it at the end of this week some of my holiday i'll do anything new on sunday some of the most infamous getting numb takes on the c.c. this any time to your point that three hundred to some your thank you for having me was already out in the middle of the only way to spend money. just. like what happens elsewhere the jewish unfeeling crease hasn't deterred young english students from enrolling. in one thousand nine hundred eight just before the
7:48 pm
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. dave vice chancellor is already making noises about the cap but he still to live thousand pounds 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 capital b. much much more but i think what we're witnessing i'm in a cross the public sector an equation on public sector within the united kingdom within the u.k. it's probably the third phase of competition and privatized market ties ation 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
7:49 pm
stop thinking necessarily about the education that they are providing or about the public good start importing the behaviors of what they see as a competitive environment elsewhere within the private sector. manchester's those students we've got many different universities here manchester metropolitan university university of so fort northwest through college of music manchester articulate and me and so on 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 mentions for 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
7:50 pm
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 subway you're going to get a free cookie if you go to mcdonald's you're going to get a free mc flurry and so. saw the series 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 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 stuff you can get a job offers in higher education in the u.k. traditionally like historically communications and marketing have been very much
7:51 pm
support function what we're seeing now is a transformation where we're moving from a supporting role to a leadership role. and 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 on this is
7:52 pm
