Government's Degree Revolution Mirrors University for Civil Society
Ideas from Higher Education Secretary, John Denham, for enabling thousands more students to study part-time using an accumulative credit system, are strikingly similar to those put forward for a University for Civil Society by PrimeTimers, business skills supplier to the third sector.
Flexible studying, employer funding and support for on the job training are all key concepts within the Civil Society University which were discussed by leading public and private figures earlier this year.
PrimeTimers director, Mary Chadwick, said: “It's really encouraging that a government minister has recognised so many of the benefits that were put forward in our major lecture series on the Civil Society University . We can see that the need for flexible learning will become even more urgent as people may be forced to re-evaluate their careers and seek opportunities for personal development and reinvention.”
