Recommendation 4

Due to our remit, we have not scrutinised the relative value of different higher education courses. There may be valid arguments now and in the future about the proportion of costs borne by individuals and the state, depending on the relative value of courses to the state and the individual. Such arguments might bear further consideration by the Department for Education and the Education Select Committee. (Recommendation, Paragraph 20) 39 Is the student loans system broken or unfair?
