The UK's universities are a global success story; world-renowned for high-quality teaching and for supporting social mobility and economic growth across the UK. In February 2018, the prime minister launched the government's review of post-18 education and funding in England. The review aims to 'ensure that the education system for those aged 18 years and over is accessible to all, is supported by a funding system that provides value for money and works for students and taxpayers, incentivises choice and competition across the sector, and encourages the development of the skills that we need as a country.' Universities UK (UUK) considers this review to be an important opportunity to ensure that all post-18 routes -- across both higher education and further education -- are properly supported and accessible to all students, from all backgrounds, who would benefit from a higher level of education. The review is an opportunity to consider how the post-18 system can best meet current and future skills needs.
