Reclaiming our Universities. This pamphlet by Professor Steven Schwartz, Vice Chancellor of Brunel University, argues that the higher education system must be freed from central state control if we are to rescue universities from their current slide into mediocrity. Using evidence from Australia and America, he demonstrates that a modern, market-led approach could also lead to a fairer system of access in Britain.

A New Deal: Making Education Work for All New Zealanders . A New Deal provides a clear and comprehensive framework for real change. The Education Forum?s proposals include: * Giving parents greater freedom to determine what school will best suit their children and, more importantly, backing up that choice with state funding; * Trusting teachers and principals to determine the best way of organising themselves to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population in New Zealand; * Building a culture of professionalism in the teaching sector; * Providing parents, teachers, principals and the government with the information required to determine how well the education system is serving New Zealand children; and * Ensuring that students, parents and teachers have access to world class curricula and qualifications.
