Hopefully, the thinking behind it is to start reversing the trend of anyone over 18 who can write their own name can go to uni and take a degree in "Take That, the early years" or something equally ludicrous.
I read something yesterday which said that the old universities (oxbridge type establishments) with high academic achievement were going to be exempted from certain red tape/helped with compliance etc. I do hope this is true. We should be aiming to shut down or remove Uni status from many establishments which currentl call themselves Universities.
The idea that over 50% of the populatuion should gain a degree is absurd and is dogma which is so hateful of what it percieves as elitism, that it doesnt care about destroying the greatest university system in the world, in order to dumb it down to the lowest common denominator in the name of opportunity and equality. Its exactly the same thing they did to secondary education when they all but abolished the Grammar schools.
Not everyone should have the opportunity to go to university, they should be serious educational establishments with extremely high standards, for the most academically able and serious minded people in the country.If those people who happen to be exceptionally bright are also poor, then the bursary system should be strengthened and extended.
Yet again its utterly criminal what the left have done to education in this country since the sixties, just like they have caused awful damage to just about every other area they have got their hands on in this country.A degree from a British University used to open doors all over the world. Now, its hardly worth the paper its written on.
Another rant over.
