British Universities toward Privatization via Private Donations

(Entry by Prachayani Praphamontripong)

PROPHE Summary:
The British government has urged its universities to emulate the American model of fundraising and private donations from alumni and philanthropists. The government has increased its funding for the first time for a set-up of development offices in 27 new and small universities for a fundraising campaign. In addition, the government hopes that more private donations would be stimulated through its given new funding.

PROPHE Observation:

England is among countries seeking to establish significant fundraising by liberalizing its policy. Marketization and privatization have tremendously influenced higher education systems worldwide, and the British case, once reserved for largely state funding, is showing its change.
