Government support package for universities and students
The Government has announced a range of measures to protect students and the higher education sector from the impact of coronavirus.
New measures to protect students and universities, including temporary student number controls, have been announced by the Education Secretary today (4 May), answering sector calls on the Covid-19 response.
Gavin Williamson has announced the package of measures, drawing on proposals from the universities sector, to stabilise university admissions this autumn and to help the universities and students are safeguarded at a time of unprecedented uncertainty.
Through the plans, English higher education providers will be able to recruit full-time undergraduate UK and EU students for 2020⁄21 up to a temporary set level, which is based on their forecasts for the next academic year, plus an additional 5%. The Government will control these numbers through the student finance system. View more
