Introduction At the present time, UK universities have become one of the attractive educational institutions in the world. UK universities have their own history and features. Their main feature is that all of them are commercial organizations and studying in higher education in the UK is not free. The commercialization has commenced after the second war, and nowadays, the marketization becomes the main system in the UK higher education system. Many countries attempt to send their students in the UK and well known companies try to employ students who have graduated from UK universities. Moreover, in the future studying in universities and colleges in the world will not be free of charge and the education system will be capitalised, privatised and commercialised step by step [1, p.2]. However, commercialization can lead to an increase of higher education’s cost and progressively lose the value of academic research. These points are stated by the opponents of commercialization of higher education in the UK. This research will focus on the effect of commercialization on UK universities in terms of cost and research. In addition, it will explain why UK universities are very successful despite their high cost and they are also at the top in research. The purpose of this controversial paper is to discuss, through the UK education system, why commercialization of higher education is a significant issue and it is a threat to universities or benefit to Вестник КазНПУ имени Абая, Серия «Педагогические науки», №4 (52), 2016 г. 186 them.

Finally, this discus- sion will conclude that commercialization has positive effects on UK universities. жүктеу/скачать 5,18 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
