Findings and Recommendations of The Review
The Browne Review into the future of Higher Education Funding published its report on 12 October 2010 in a document entitled Securing a Sustainable Future for Higher Education. The report based its recommendations on six principles which were:
- More investment should be available for Higher Education
- Student choice should be increased
- Everyone who has the potential should be able to benefit from Higher Education
- No-one should have to pay until they start work
- When payments are made they should be affordable
- Part-time students should be treated the same as full-time students for the costs of learning
The main recommendations of the report were:
- Removing the cap of £3,290 a year that universities could charge for tuition
- Raising the point at which tuition fees loans are paid back from £15,000 to £21,000 a year
- Changing the repayment scheme such that loans were only to be paid back at 9% of any income earned over £21,000
- Giving part-time students equal entitlement to tuition under the Student Finance Plan

Famous quotes containing the words findings and/or review:
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
