Abstract

In this article, the author discusses about principles of Lord Robbins, the chairperson of Great Britain's Committee on Higher Education on higher education (HE). It mentions that Robbins hoped that some day polytechnics will be permitted to call themselves as universities, but they should not try to remodel their curricula and shift of single honors degree. It informs that Robbins endorsed loans rather than subsidies for the fair and equitable funding of promoting HE.
