Put down the matches: why higher education needs evolution, not revolution
Rose Stephenson of HEPI argues higher education needs evolution, not revolution. Highlighting the sector's economic and social benefits, she cautions against radical change. On student choice, she favors better information and AI-assisted guidance over government intervention. She warns that institutional closures could devastate rural communities with limited access to alternatives, and suggests regionally embedded institutions merit support. Her prescription: improve informed choice, engage devolution mechanisms, and prepare for a smaller sector through strong leadership.
