10 vice-chancellors tell us what they want politicians to focus on in 2015. Heres one view: David Latchman, master of Birkbeck, University of London Funding should be reinstated for people who have already done a degree and want to do another. Current policy, which doesn’t allow this, is completely counter to the idea that people should reorient themselves through their working lives - rather than just getting a job at 18 or 20 years old and staying there for 30-40 years. We are very supportive of the idea of postgraduate loans, but disappointed that at the age of 30 your value in society seems to disappear, in that you’re not worth a loan. I’d like to see this nonsensical age restriction removed.
