The New College of the Humanities in Bloomsbury, London’s main university quarter, feels like a tiny version of an august academic institution. Yet it is a for-profit organisation. The college’s founder, Anthony Grayling, wants to introduce a bit of diversity to a largely state-funded higher education system. 【F1】
A new high-end player in the marketplace also helps fill the gap in provision for students with good qualifications who lose out by a grade or two in the brutal race for places in the Russell Group of top universities.
This kind of disruptive innovation earns a mixed reception. The coalition government welcomes it. But Terry Eagleton, an outspoken Marxist academic, describes the venture as "disgusting" and divisive. Other critics have pointed out that courses there closely resemble what is on offer, more cheaply, at the existing London university colleges. Mr. Grayling hopes to counter the charge with outreach initiatives and generous grants for poorer students.
The government has also eased rules on what qualifies as a university. The newly named University of Law, an outfit with several regional centres, is backed by a private-equity firm and offers two-year degree courses for highly motivated or cash-strapped students. 【F2】
Other institutions such as BPP University College, which grants professional qualifications from accountancy to chiropractic (脊椎神经学), were given degree-awarding powers by the last Labour government, but now want full university status.
And the line between private and state-funded higher education is blurring in other ways. Established institutions including Imperial College, London and University College are also thriving businesses, cross-subsidising studies and research which do not make money. Oxford has initiated a joint Master’s course in law and finance, crammed into nine months and costing a big 21,000 pounds.
Much has changed since the independent University of Buckingham (a non-profit operator) launched 30 years ago. Today it has more British undergraduates than foreign ones and offers a range of subjects, including medicine. But the revolution is unfinished. 【F3】
One unusual phenomenon that makes life harder for independent providers is that students can take out government-backed student loans at a favourable rate for only the first 6,000 pounds of their fees.
At subsidised top universities, they can borrow the full yearly fee of 9,000 pounds.
【F4】
The level playing field promised when the coalition came to power in 2010 remains a work in progress.
David Willetts, the universities minister, failed in a bid to allow for-profit education firms equal access to state funding. 【F5】
Many senior academics opposed the move, citing "ridiculously low graduation rates, high levels of debts and degrees of dubious value" from some for-profit American companies.
When it comes to changing higher education, even small innovations can provoke a noisy reaction.
【F1】
选项
答案
一些优秀学生在争抢罗素大学集团高等学府名额的残酷竞争中,因相差一两分而落榜,这位高端教育市场新加入者恰好同时能填补这一空档,为这些优秀学生提供升学机会。
解析
①该句为复合句,包含who引导的定语从句,描述的现象为客观事实,故使用的基本时态为一般现在时。②主句为简单的主谓宾结构,主句主语后的介词短语in the marketplace“教育市场上”是主语的后置定语,主句宾语gap后的in provision for...为修饰gap的后置定语,表明填补的是何种空缺;who至句末为修饰students with good qualifications“优秀学生”的定语从句,具体说明这些优秀学生的情况。
