With proper backing from the next Government, modern universities can help build a modern Britain, the Association for Modern Universities, MillionPlus says today (25 March) as it launches its general election manifesto.
Building a Modern Britain outlines prospective policy solutions to address a number of urgent issues across five priority areas.
In summary:
- Work with modern universities to deliver the essential public services workforce on which the country depends.
- Put modern universities at the very heart of the skills agenda in every region.
- Acknowledge, value and invest in innovative and impactful research, wherever it is found.
- Re-affirm Great Britain’s commitment to be a world-leading destination for higher education.
- Invest in universities and students so they have a solid foundation from which to succeed.
