Part of a special issue on the Dearing Report on higher education in Great Britain. Although the Dearing Report's chapters on higher education funding have been rendered irrelevant by the government's decision to adopt a different approach to the issue, the report's proposals provide the case for a student contribution to tuition costs on the grounds of equity. However, the adoption of a genuine lifelong learning model of higher education might have enabled the committee to generate more relevant proposals on funding and elsewhere.
