My statement, that to return to a stage where universities are financed entirely by taxation would increase the burden on the taxpayer by £12 billion, is based on IFS modelling that shows that the total long run contribution of the government to remove tuition fees would be £12.5 billion, rounded down to the nearest billion. Of that £12.5 billion, the IFS estimate that around £11.6 billion would be in the form of teaching grants.<\/p>"}

The department has not made an estimate of the number of higher education institutions that may exit the market.<\/p>
In the new higher education (HE) regulatory framework, the Office for Students (OfS) has responsibilities to monitor and assess the financial viability of registered providers and in particular to protect the interests of students. The OfS may take action where it identifies particular risks to a provider\u2019s financial viability. The department has also given the OfS powers to ensure that registered providers have plans in place to protect their students, via appropriately constructed student protection plans. Should the provider be facing difficulties, the plan may need to be strengthened in a tailored way before OfS can agree it.<\/p>
It is the responsibility of Vice-Chancellors and the leaders of higher education providers to ensure their institutions are financially viable.<\/p>
The terms of reference of the review of post-18 education and funding include a focus on ensuring choice and competition across a joined-up post-18 education and training sector. The review will look at how it can support a more dynamic market whilst maintaining the financial sustainability of a world\u2013class higher education and research sector.<\/p>
