<p>The review of post-18 education and funding will look at how we can ensure a joined-up
education system that works for everyone and is accessible to all. The review will
look at how we can ensure the system is supported by a funding system that provides
value for money and works for students and taxpayers, incentivises choice and competition
across the sector, and encourages the development of the skills that we need as a
country, whilst maintaining the financial sustainability of a world-class higher education
and research sector.</p><p> </p><p>While the review will not make recommendations
related to taxation, the case for changes to the post-18 education system and associated
public spending impacts will be looked at as part of the review. This will be considered
alongside existing budget lines and wider decision-making processes on public spending,
consistent with the government’s fiscal policies.</p><p> </p><p>The government has
appointed an external panel, comprising experts from across post-18 education and
the business world that will consider the available evidence and engage with stakeholders
to provide advice to inform the review. The panel will publish a report at an interim
stage, before the government concludes the overall review in early 2019. We cannot
prejudge the outcomes of the review.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
