specialized agencies thinking of going private anonymous, principals survey shows that experts predict that the emergence of a "super league of British universities

two English universities are "actively considering" opting out of the public education system more regulated in a radical movement which means the isolation of all state funds, including student loans.

By going private, a university would be able to circumvent the requirements of the Government to expand access to students in public schools.

Both universities are not identified in a study of 65 principals, but they are specialized institutions that are not members of the Russell Group.

The survey, conducted by management consultancy PA Consulting, predicts the appearance of an Ivy League English -. A "super-league of strong institutions"

an author of the report, Mike Boxall, an expert on higher education in the PA Consulting, said that universities should reinforce strong due to the concentration of financial reforms and research government to allow large institutions to accept more of the best performing A-level students.

About half (55%) of the directors expect "a series of institutional failures and bankruptcies," and a similar proportion of mergers or acquisitions expected in the fight against universities. This is less pessimistic than last year, when 75% of failures and mergers provided a similar survey.

only two vice presidents admitted to fears that they are victims of the failure or takeover.

The study found that 64% of universities expect the business of government-funded and regulated, including training and training of NHS contracts, to remain at the center of your business. However, a significant number of institutions trying to reduce their commitment to education and public sector research and development of new opportunities in the private markets. About 10% said they actively reduce their participation in activities financed by the government and regulated, and another 23% expect these activities to become a relatively minor factor in business planning.
  • guide Several concerns about the role of government in higher education.
One of them said. "The government's ability to continue to interfere with the price and demand is a concern,"

Much of the body, about 37%, is looking outside the public sector for future growth. These include new markets such as employers and training courses for professionals who want to improve their skills.

Boxall said: "The internal market is not offering an undergraduate growth, does not offer margins
"The prices are pushed down - the whole purpose of the White Paper was to try to lower tuition -. 'If you need growth forecasts," the costs are pushed until, perhaps, increasing students must look beyond. "
