One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the last review took place thirty years ago.

The Confederation of British Industry, the key employers’ organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets from 【C18】______ Asian economies. But the government has doubts 【C19】______ more expansion. The Times newspaper agrees, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers 【C20】______ , with close tutorial supervision giving way to "mass production methods more typical of European universities."
