Budget 2026, AI procurement
Notes de l’épisode
This week on the podcast we examine what John Healey’s first Budget holds for higher education – from a longer Graduate route at highly compliant universities to an International Student Levy now costed £100m higher.
With mayors given a stake in keeping graduates but little cost of living help reaching students, who wins and who loses?
Plus we discuss Jisc’s new statement on buying generative AI tools, and our guests pick their stories of the week.
With Emma Maslin, Senior Policy and Research Officer at AMOSSHE, David Kernohan, Deputy Editor at Wonkhe, Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe and presented by James Coe, Associate Editor at Wonkhe and Research Agenda.
