Healthy pay fires overseas interest

Article Abstract:

Academics working in the UK are better off in real terms than those working in Japan, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand and are on a par with those working in Canada, France and Denmark, according to a government-commissioned study carried out by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research. The report warns that, while lower-paying countries may prove to be a valuable source for recruits, foreign staff are also more likely to leave academia in the future, which would lead to future retention problems.

Teachers favour admissions rejig

Article Abstract:

A new poll of secondary schools teachers in the United Kingdom has revealed that 82% of them support Government plans to restructure the university admissions system and only allow sixth form students to apply for places once they have received their A-level results. The Government has argued that using actual rather than predicted exam grades will be fairer to students and intends to begin implementing the plans in 2008.
