Editorial - Quality chemistry education
Education in Chemistry welcomes Karen Ogilvie as its new editor
As I take up the reins at Education in Chemistry (EiC) I expect there will be many exciting challenges ahead in delivering quality chemistry education for our students and in providing you with quality resources to support your teaching.
HE funding and quality
The debate surrounding higher education and tuition fees continues unabated as universities rush to declare the level of fees they plan to charge from 2012. What impact will this have on our educational institutions, their students, staff and the quality of teaching provided? There are fears that this will cause even more funding problems both for the government and for universities.
On page 96 of this issue, David Read, who I would like to welcome as the new chair of the EiC Editorial Board, presents some of the options which could be considered to create a balance for teaching in universities.
