Is British Mass Education Really a ‘Fraud’?In Volume 86 No. 4 of The Political Quarterly Alan Ware declared that British higher education is a ‘fraud’. Specifically he claimed that the ‘fraud’ had four components:
- There is a ‘need’ for all to be more highly educated.
- Higher-education qualifications result in higher incomes for those who have them.
- here is a good fit between the skills needed in the labour market and those acquired in Britain’s education system.
- Educational credentials can facilitate social mobility. He argues that ‘none of these myths has much basis in fact.’
Alison Johnston (in the same issue) rebutted Ware’s third claim of fraud, Ware responded to Johnston and expanded on his initial claims, and Dennis A. Ahlburg (a Visiting Fellow at OxCHEPS), in a paper to be published later this summer in The Political Quarterly, argues that Ware’s first through third claims have little or no merit and that the failure of universities to facilitate social mobility is not so much a failure of the universities but a failure of the educational system to prepare low income children for university.
OxCHEPS would like to thank The Political Quarterly for permission to post these papers on the website to facilitate discussion of the critical issues raised in these papers.

This Paper from Mr Paul Wiltshire presents an interesting exercise in trying to gather information to inform a family decision over the selection of possible universities at which to study Law. It demonstrates just how hard it is to access meaningful information when hoping to be an informed consumer and why HE providers need to be forced to set out such data - and then be held to their providing of such ‘material information’ via a standardised, fair, comprehensive University-Student (Business2Consumer) contract to educate that is compliant with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and with the strictures of the CMA 2015 guidance to universities over the applicability of consumer protection legislation to the legal relationship with their students, and as enforced by the OfS as part of the regulatory framework or indeed by the student using the small-claims court if not Trading Standards. (See also Occasional Paper No. 60 - NB its suggested data template now needing updating to show the use of hybrid teaching delivery within courses.)
