		New England is failing its urban, rural, low-income and first-generation students from the Berkshires to Boston.

	Clive Walker, LEGAL EDUCATION IN ENGLAND AND WALES, 72 Oregon Law Review 943 (1993)
		The increase in admissions has been influenced by the government's policy decision to increase the percentage of eighteen year-olds entering higher education from about twenty-five percent in 1989 to about thirty-three percent in 2000, resulting in an overall fifty-eight percent increase in student numbers.
		However, these characteristics, which produced what was termed a "binary divide" in higher education, have long been blurred in reality, hence the formal abolition of the distinction in 1992.
		Thus, the Higher Education Funding Council of England, the public body through which governmental funds are channelled to universities, has established a Quality Assessment Committee to undertake reviews of the quality of teaching delivery.

		In England the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006 set out the conditions under which a pupil’s name must be removed from the admission register of a school.
		Should it be necessary for the statement to remain in force, the parents continue to have responsibility for the education provided and the local authority has a duty to act if it appears that the child is not receiving a suitable education under s 7.
		Consent is required in these cases only to smooth the transition to home education for children with complex special needs and it would be discriminatory for a local authority to withhold consent where a parent wishes to home educate a child who is registered at a special school.
