Policy Review
Higher Education in Wales
Remit
To identify a vision for higher education in Wales and how it should serve the country’s needs, and to develop a long-term strategy for optimising the sector’s contribution. The study should take account of the National, European, and wider international dimensions involved, together with the various teaching, research, cultural, vocational and economic missions within the sector. The study should address in particular:- the range of disciplines and activities within higher education;
- the portfolio of research undertaken within the sector, and the amount and pattern of research funding obtained from the HEFCW, Research Councils and other sources;
- the economic mission of higher education institutions in relation to wealth and job creation and the commercial exploitation of knowledge;
- the scope for collaboration and integration within the higher education sector and also partnership between HE institutions and schools, further education institutions and others in order to continually raise standards of both teaching and research;
- student financial support and its affect on the volume and pattern of recruitment;
- the Assembly’s statutory powers and any constraints they impose on the strategic development of higher education in Wales.
