Dearing Report

The Dearing Report, officially titled "Higher Education in the Learning Society," was published in 1997 in the UK. It assessed the state of higher education and made recommendations for its future. Key themes included increasing access to universities, improving quality of education, and ensuring that graduates are better prepared for the workforce. The report emphasized lifelong learning, the importance of funding for education, and suggested reforms to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of higher education institutions. It influenced policies on tuition fees, student support, and the overall direction of higher education in the UK.
