Show Notes

The COVID pandemic has created huge uncertainly for students returning to university. Have student numbers remained stable in the face of the COVID-19 crisis? Has the A Level results debacle had an impact on admissions? Should students be paying full rates for an online-only experience? How are university finances doing more generally in the face of the coronavirus crisis?


In this episode, we speak with Jack Britton, education expert at the IFS, to consider some of the complex questions facing the higher education sector.
