A GROUP of individuals from higher education, government and industry has put forward a set of suggestions for revamping higher education which are far reaching and yet retain some of the flavour of the traditional British university system. Called the Higher Education Policy Group, and convened by Professor W. R. Niblett of the University of London Institute of Education, the group has been discussing the future development of higher education in Britain for the past 18 months. The suggestions
offered, although not spelled out in detail, include a flexible system which would enable a student to qualify for a degree in two years, or an honours degree in three, a unified admissions procedure for all institutions of higher education, ease of transfer between institutions and more autonomy for the public sector.
英国高等教育、政府和工业界的一群人提出了一套改革高等教育的建议,这些建议影响深远,同时又保留了英国传统大学体系的一些特色。这个名为“高等教育政策小组”(Higher Education Policy Group)的小组由伦敦大学教育学院(University of London Institute of Education)的w·r·尼布利特(W. R. Niblett)教授召集,在过去18个月里一直在讨论英国高等教育的未来发展。提供的建议,虽然不清楚细节,包括一个灵活的系统,将使学生有资格申请学位两年,或者三个荣誉学位,一个统一的招生过程对于所有高等教育机构,易于转移之间的机构和公共部门更多的自治权。
