Методические указания по английскому языку для студентов I курса всех факультетов. Часть 1. Сергееева Т.В - 38 стр.

polytechnics are alternatives to universities for some English students. Some of
them are of university level and their work is officially described as the higher
education sector. On the contrary, all schools of education, engineering and
business studies are integral parts of universities in the U.S. British universities
receive about 79% of their financial support through Parliamentary grants.
Similarly in the USA, public institutions get about 75% of their funds from
local, state or federal sources, but private colleges and universities receive little
or no government support. In Britain personal financial aid provided by the
government to over 80% of the students is administered according to the
parents’ income. In the U.S., students’ grants are administered by the university
or the sponsoring agency and are supplied by private organizations and the state
or federal governments. Obviously, British and American universities have
similar educational goals but different sources of financial support.
