ICYMI England to go ahead with uni cap, including caps on English students going to non-English unis in UK

theguardian.com/education/2020…

1/
Full technical document here: gov.uk/government/pub…

2/
Essentially, a 5% cap on over-recruitment to plans, plus additional 5K places for medicinal programmes, plus 5K for STEM-y subjects (but only for HEIs with strong metrics on continuation and post-study employment)

3/
And if you'd like an informed critique, try this: wonkhe.com/blogs/student-…

4/
For a less-informed critique: govt is - once again - unsure whether it's letting market forces operate or not in the sector

Plus, it seems to think HE education is a rapid-response channel to Events, when it's structurally not

5/
Overall: another complication for HE, on top of all the other ones there are

/end
And some more on this from Scotland - we didn't even get into the devolution politics of this, but they are also very rubbish

Ahead of this week's Future Relationship negotiations, a quick run-down of the Frost & Barnier letters

PDF: bit.ly/UshGraphic26

1/
Behind all the rhetoric, there's reason for both optimism and pessimism about the negotiations

So, lots of new Brexit texts flying around this week.

What to make it all?

1/
Today we had the UK's 'approach' on implementing the Northern Irish Protocol: gov.uk/government/new…

Yesterday came the drafts for EU-UK agreements under the Future Relationship: gov.uk/government/pub…

Also, the new tariff regime: gov.uk/government/new…

2/
(note the draft texts didn't get a press release, so HMG not going out of their way to get people to notice them, or even find them)

Let's go around this again, since we're getting a bit carried away

1/

2/
My OP was about the requirement to tell the UK about future accessions to the UK and 'take account' of UK concerns
