Million Plus

The university think-tank, million+, has published a series of opinion pieces in its newest publication ‘The HE Debate: Where next for..?’ which was launched today (30 March).

‘The HE Debate: Where next for..?’ features contributions from Peers, Vice-Chancellors, academics and sector organisations, who offer their insight examining key policy areas that have influenced higher education since 2010 and will continue to have a major impact in the run up to the 2015 General Election and beyond.

Pam Tatlow, Chief Executive of the university think-tank million+, said:

"The publication explores a diverse range of issues and makes for essential reading for anyone with an interest in higher education and the sector in general.

“Ahead of the imminent General Election and the uncovering of policies by all parties there is much to be said about the future of higher education, and our commentators kick-start the conversations that need to be had on significant areas. If we want to successfully move forward as a sector ministers must take heed of the points being raised."
