the CentreForum think tank calls for an overhaul of higher education, splitting universities into two different types; leading institutions that focus on research and teaching and others focusing mainly on teaching.
that only a "select number of highly prestigious institutions or academic bodies", should be allowed to award degrees.These research universities would design their own set of courses and exams, which other "regular" institutions would then teach. Exams would be externally marked by the research university,
Such a move would boost the quality of higher education, cut costs and allow students to compare courses offered by different institutions.
