Article summary

The Department for Education has published a policy paper setting out a scheme for higher education providers who are facing coronavirus (COVID-19) related financial difficulties and are at risk of insolvency. The scheme will review the provider’s circumstances and assess the case for support (ie repayable loans), although these will come with strict conditions, including the provider needing to ‘be aligned with the government’s wider priorities’.
