As a country, we have been unable even to agree a term to describe new higher education providers. Are they ‘private colleges’ that have little to do with the rest of higher education? Are they ‘alternative providers’ that offer similar-but-different competition? Or are they ‘challenger institutions’ disrupting the whole sector? What kind of consistency is needed or indeed useful across the sector in terms of teaching and learning? The Coalition could not legislate for a level playing-field for higher education providers of all types, but what does the future look like?
