Her first major step to encourage the universities was to introduce fees for international students. Before 1981, international students were educated for free. When the fees were introduced, they were denounced by the leadership of the British universities which, with one voice, predicted that no international student would ever apply to a British university again.
Since the leadership of British universities often was wrong on important issues, it was no surprise that Mrs. Thatcher’s policy was a success.
Margaret Thatcher’s next step was to cut support money for research to the university sector: she felt that some universities were not using their research money well. However, the leadership of British universities predicted that they would be a disaster from which the British economy in general and British universities in particular would never recover. The facts proved that Mrs. Thatcher’s policy was a success. With the introduction of accountability for research, British universities now come second only to America’s universities in every international league table.
Margaret Thatcher left a lasting heritage when Tony Blair and the David Cameron came to power, they each continued her privatization policies, in particular by introducing top-up fees(附加费用) for home undergraduates. When the fees were introduced, the leadership of British universities thought that this policy would have a bad effect on the British economy and British universities. Finally, it proved to be a success. This policy enabled the universities to be better funded and better able to meet students’ needs than before.
