Since last week's recommendations there has been a series of opinion on ths issue. For those that missed the FT's editiorial on this:

"Browne is right to be radical: Lord Browne’s report into university finance is a genuinely radical document that would, if implemented, lead to a free-market revolution in higher education provision. Participation and standards should rise, the latter driven by sharper competition between universities. And these gains could be secured without disadvantaging the less well-off."

 

Meanwhile David Blackburn from The Spectator describes the proposals as "A sustainable and permanent solution"

 

"The Browne report is 'progressive'. He has done more than enough to ensure that the low earners won't be unduly hit. The political battlt has moved to those on middle incomes."
