N2  - "Financing Higher Education focuses on the UK debate, examining the head-on collision between the economic imperatives of student loans with regulated market forces and the political imperative of 'free' higher education. The first part of the book contains selected writing by the authors from the late 1980s about two key elements in the puzzle: the proper design of student loans (writing which was picked up and promptly implemented in other countries), and the role of regulated market forces, an area which remains a political minefield in most countries. The book traces those twin elements through the 1990s and into the twenty-first century, culminating in important - and perhaps path-breaking - legislation in 2004."--BOOK JACKET
