Getting over the bursary blues
Nursing Standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987)
|August 4, 2016
Summary
Scrapping bursaries may deter individuals from pursuing higher education degrees. This policy change could significantly impact future student enrollment in degree courses.
Area of Science:
- Social Sciences
- Education Policy
Background:
- Bursaries are financial awards that support students pursuing higher education.
- The removal of bursaries represents a significant policy shift in educational funding.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the potential impact of eliminating bursaries on student applications for degree courses.
- To assess the deterrent effect of financial aid changes on higher education enrollment.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative analysis of policy documents related to educational funding.
- Review of historical enrollment data in response to previous financial aid changes.
- Surveys and interviews with prospective students regarding financial barriers to education.
Main Results:
- Anticipated decrease in applications for degree programs, particularly among financially disadvantaged students.
- Increased concern among potential applicants regarding the financial viability of pursuing higher education.
- Potential widening of the socio-economic gap in higher education access.
Conclusions:
- The elimination of bursaries is likely to discourage applications for degree courses.
- Policy interventions are needed to mitigate the negative impact on student enrollment and educational equity.

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.
