			== Country in a nutshell ==

			The ''Bailiwick of Jersey'' is a British [http://www.justice.gov.uk/whatwedo/crowndependencies.htm Crown Dependency] set in the English Channel near to the Normandy coast in France. The [[United Kingdom]] is responsible for the Bailiwick's defence and ultimately for good governance, and for representing the Bailiwick in international fora, while the Bailiwick's own parliament and government have competence over all domestic matters.

			Jersey has a population of just over 90,000 according to the [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/je.html CIA Factbook]. Thus it is comparable in population to many smaller towns in Europe, for example in England to Bath, Basingstoke, Southport and Worcester.

			However, as an autonomous region it has to deliver the full panoply of domestic government and policy - no small task, even if it can adopt or adapt a certain amount of policy from the UK, which it resembles in various ways.

			Jersey has indigenous broadcasting, from BBC Radio and Television and the ITV company Channel Television.

			Jersey Telecom offers an ADSL service at the 2 Mbps level.

			For more details on Jersey see the wikipedia article on Jersey.


			== Country education policy ==

			It is similar to the UK model


			== Country education system ==

			It is similar to the UK model.


			== Higher education ==

			=== Universities in Jersey ===

			There is no self-sufficient autonomous institution of higher education in Jersey. However, it is possible to take some Higher Education qualifications locally, on a full-time or part-time basis and also to study by distance learning.

			The [[UK Open University]] supports students in Jersey (but they pay higher fees than UK students) and is has a study centre on the Island. The Jersey Department for Education, Sport & Culture does provide some funding for distance learning courses, but at first degree level only.


			===Polytechnics in Country ===

			Jersey has an FE college, [http://www.highlands.ac.uk/unifaceview/wrd/run/portal.show?c=1 Highlands College]. As well as offering part-time and evening courses Highlands is the largest sixth form provider in the Island, and works collaboratively with a range of organisations including the [[UK Open University]], University of Plymouth and [[London South Bank University]].

			The college incorporates the [http://www.jbs.je/ Jersey Business School] but this is at an early stage of development in terms of degree programmes.

			== Higher education reform ==

			=== The Bologna Process ===

			Jersey is not part of the European Union thus is not bound by Bologna. Having said that, it is normal for Jersey to copy the main aspects of UK policy in such areas. The UK believes that to the first order of approximation its institutions already conform to Bologna.


			=== Other activity ===

			The Government commissioned a [http://search.gov.je/cs.html?url=http%3A//www.statesassembly.gov.je/documents/reports/5249-16760-1242005.htm&charset=utf-8&qt=e-learning&col=newgov&n=1&la=en Review of Higher Education] in 2005 from a former UK Vice-Chancellor which among other things proposed not a full-fledged University but a multi-function "Jersey Higher Education Academy". Progress since then seems to be slow but there is a [http://www.statesassembly.gov.je/documents/questions/38695-3139-1322007.htm follow-up note] in 2007.


			== Administration and finance ==

			It is ad hoc and the subject of some current debate.

			== Quality assurance ==

			There is no institution to which HE quality assurance directly applies. In general terms the UK QAA would oversee the quality of all UK HE provision which is delivered on the Island.


			== Country's HEIs in the information society ==

			=== Towards the information society ===


			=== Information society strategy ===

			There is little visible sign of major supply or consumption of e-learning capability on the Island including at the schools level - although a "Jersey Grid for Learning" gets passing mention.
