The Browne report discussion at Park College

Professor Trevor Burnard came to speak to Park College students and parents on the Browne report which was the independent review of higher education and student finance in December 2010.

The Browne report set out a number of recommendations on the future fees policy and financial support for full and part-time students which have now been adopted by Government as part of the tuition fee debate.

Professor Burnard gave the audience an overview of the changes that will affect higher education in the coming years, including the balance of contributions to higher education funding by taxpayers, students, graduates and employers.

The audience were able to ask a series of questions on the implications of the proposals and how the tuition fee scheme might operate.

Professor Burnard is an expert in the history of Americas from the University of Warwick. He has had a long and distinguished academic career including spells of lecturing at Universities in Jamaica, New Zealand, at Brunel and Sussex.
