Britain draws up 'superleague' plan for leading research universities

摘要

London. Britain's Conservative government is planning to propose that a significant portion of its research budget is concentrated on a 'superleague' of nine or ten e1ite universities, almost 10 years after rejecting similar proposals as too politically sensitive. Gillian Shephard, secretary of state for education and employment, will suggest the move to Sir Ron Dearing, a government education adviser who is conducting a review of higher education, according to government officials quoted in the British press.
