Colleges and universities deliver vital opportunities and drive economic growth Yet the current coronavirus crisis is now creating huge financial uncertainty in post-16 education

Most importantly, the government must make a firm commitment to guarantee funding for institutions, protect jobs and rule out the closure of any college or university Without these guarantees vital academic, educational and support staff will be lost – all of whom are incredibly expensive to try and replace

We need to see colleges and universities work together, and with others, in the national interest The government should insist that, in return for underwriting current funding, institutions accept

a duty to work cooperatively to benefit students and our wider society This means an end to the

unseemly competition for students between institutions, which is both wasteful and unproductive, and will lead to even more financial instability

This cooperation must extend to exams and assessment It is increasingly clear that attempts to hold exams on a business as usual basis will have profound consequences for the fairness and

equality of the process While staff have been working hard to shift teaching online, the National Union of Students has rightly raised concerns about how all students can participate fully and fairly

in exams

Overambitious plans to resume operations in the autumn risk misleading potential students into believing a return to normal operations is imminent Only a real partnership between all stakeholders, of the type recently agreed in the railway industry, can give students the certainty they need

Action is urgent to protect our colleges and universities, so they can lead the recovery Now is the time to turn decisively away from the market-driven madness of the past decade We need a new mood of cooperation which puts students’ interests first, treats staff as something more than temporary help, and opens up opportunities for everyone in our communities

A educational institutions will not bring benefit for undergraduates

B the competition among universities will not end

C educational workers will be out of work

D universities will strengthen cooperation one another

Question 38: The word “firm” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _

Question 39: What does the word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A the government

B current funding

C cooperative working to benefit students

D duty to benefit students among universities

Question 40: According to the fourth paragraph, the phrase “attempts to hold exam on a business

as usual basis” means

A the effort to organize exams in the usual way

B the effort to maintain exams in the commercial way

C the effort to hold exams in companies

D the effort to hold exams as much as possible

Colleges and universities deliver vital opportunities and drive economic growth Yet the current coronavirus crisis is now creating huge financial uncertainty in post-16 education

Most importantly, the government must make a firm commitment to guarantee funding for

institutions, protect jobs and rule out the closure of any college or university Without these guarantees vital academic, educational and support staff will be lost – all of whom are incredibly expensive to try and replace

We need to see colleges and universities work together, and with others, in the national interest The government should insist that, in return for underwriting current funding, institutions

accept a duty to work cooperatively to benefit students and our wider society This means an end

to the unseemly competition for students between institutions, which is both wasteful and unproductive, and will lead to even more financial instability

This cooperation must extend to exams and assessment It is increasingly clear that attempts

to hold exams on a business as usual basis will have profound consequences for the fairness and

equality of the process While staff have been working hard to shift teaching online, the National Union of Students has rightly raised concerns about how all students can participate fully and fairly

in exams

Overambitious plans to resume operations in the autumn risk misleading potential students into believing a return to normal operations is imminent Only a real partnership between all stakeholders, of the type recently agreed in the railway industry, can give students the certainty they need

Action is urgent to protect our colleges and universities, so they can lead the recovery Now is the time to turn decisively away from the market-driven madness of the past decade We need a new mood of cooperation which puts students’ interests first, treats staff as something more than temporary help, and opens up opportunities for everyone in our communities
