This week’s episode is hosted by Higher Education Consultant and fellow Young Fabian, Redha Rubaie, who is joined by Dr Lise Butler, a lecturer in Modern History at City University and Joe Seddon, founder of Zero Gravity and Access Oxbridge. We discussed the future of universities and higher education institutions in light of the pandemic, the difficulties that many are facing and what the government can do to support. We also covered the marketisation of higher education, the challenges of online learning, the notion of 'worthless degrees', university issues around social class and more.
