Universities not focusing on teaching, says ex-minister

Times Higher EducationBy . Many universities are “still not focused enough on teaching” and are using £9,000 fees to subsidise research. That is the suggestion of former education secretary Charles Clarke, who told a fringe event at the Labour conference that the claim that research improves teaching quality at universities is a “false debate”.
The event, hosted by the Association of Business Schools, looked at the question “Is it possible to balance the demands of students with the needs of business?” Read more...

A Nudge to Poorer Students to Aim High on Colleges

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/misc/nytlogo152x23.gifBy . The group that administers the SAT has begun a nationwide outreach program to try to persuade more low-income high school seniors who scored high on standardized tests to apply to select colleges.

The package, which includes application fee waivers to six colleges of the student’s choice, will be sent to roughly 28,000 seniors. More...

Americans Look Abroad to Avoid Student Loan Blues

http://global.fncstatic.com/static/v/fb2/img/logo-foxbusiness.pngBy Bobbi Dempsey. Frustrated by the lack of affordable college options at home, American students are increasingly looking beyond our borders for ways to get an education without jeopardizing their financial future. Universities in Canada and even farther afield offer comparable quality at a lower cost -- but you have to know where to look.
When you run the numbers, it's no wonder U.S. students are looking abroad. Two-thirds of college seniors who graduated in 2011 had student loan debt, with an average of $26,600 per borrower, according to the Project on Student Debt. That represents a 5 percent increase from just a year earlier -- an annual rate of growth that has become standard in recent years. The reason students need to borrow so much money? Soaring tuition costs. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Education show that annual prices for undergraduate tuition, room and board at public institutions rose 42 percent to more than $13,600, and prices at private not-for-profit institutions rose 31 percent (after adjusting for inflation) to $36,300 for the period between 2000-01 and 2010-11.
