Eh?Britain's higher education system is superb – second only to the US, with 18 of our universities in the world's top 100 – and recognised across the globe as a gold standard.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away. -
Most current UK degrees are crap anyway - you only have to look at the level of ignorance on CUK
.
Basically they should close down all the crappy ex-polys (with thir tulipy degrees) and concentrate the money on the top notch ones.
If that means fewer people get "degrees" so much the better, perhaps the lower classes would be better employed getting apprenticeships in something useful than wasting time with meedjah, graphic design and communications "degrees" and the like.Hard Brexit now!

Perhaps it's time to admit that sending 50% of the population to university simply isn't viable and we are better off putting 25% on the dole instead..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Its a one-horse economy now anyway. What we need are really really good bankers.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

The NL mantra is that everybody should be able to get a degree. Pity about what that does to standards, funding, debt ......Originally posted by sasguru View PostMost current UK degrees are crap anyway - you only have to look at the level of ignorance on CUK.

Edit: but don't expect the Tories to fix that. As with Grammar Schools, which they were happy to kill off because it's not where their kind of people go, so a renamed poly is not either. So they'll be happy to keep them, and send their kids to good Oxbridge colleges as usual.Step outside posh boyComment
