The continuing dominance of the traditional full-time undergraduate degree risks undermining the objectives of the government's planned lifelong loans in England, the Open University's vice-chancellor has warned. Funding being made available as part of the government's lifelong learning entitlement (LLE) will need to be significantly expanded or will be eaten up by costly residential programmes, Tim Blackman writes in a foreword to a new Higher Education Policy Institute (Hepi) report, published on 11 May.

SHANGHAI/SINGAPORE – China kept its benchmark lending rates unchanged for the eighth month in April on Thursday, matching market expectations. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) was kept at 3.65 percent, while the five-year LPR was unchanged at 4.3. percent. In a Reuters poll of 30 market watchers conducted this week, 27 predicted no change to either rates. Most new and outstanding loans in China are based on the one-year LPR, while the five-year rate influences the pricing of mortgages. China last cut both LPRs in August to boost the economy.

The researchers explored alternative health-care therapies where the proven benefits do not justify the risks involved.

The multidisciplinary study between UBC's school of nursing and the University of Alberta Health Law Institute involved a survey of 1,492 Canadians ages 16 and over and is the first to explore risk-associated alternative health care use in Canada, said UBC professor Dr.
