Government to Implement University Free Speech Law
The government has confirmed plans to reintroduce a piece of legislation aimed at protecting free speech on university campuses.
The Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act, which proposed fines for universities that failed to uphold freedom of speech, was passed under the previous Conservative government in 2023.
However, its implementation was stopped shortly after Labour's election win last summer because of concerns that the law was potentially damaging to student welfare.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson told Parliament the government would be progressing with the legislation but with significant changes.
Oxford Scientists Achieve Quantum Teleportation With Supercomputer
Breakthrough brings quantum computing closer to large-scale practical use.
A major milestone in quantum computing has been achieved after researchers at the University of Oxford built a scalable quantum supercomputer capable of quantum teleportation.
The breakthrough centres on the so-called scalability problem of quantum computing, with the researchers claiming it will allow the next-generation technology to be realised on an industry-disrupting level.
Tuition Fees Rising to £9,535 – What Does This Mean for You?
The government has just announced that the tuition fee cap in England will increase for the first time in eight years.
This means that both current and new students will be charged £285 more a year for their university education starting from September 2025.
This has come in response to many universities reporting that they are in danger of going bust if something doesn't change. It's also been noted that had fees kept up with inflation since they increased to £9,000 a year in 2012, they'd currently be closer to £12,000.
