University waste.

"Nearly a quarter of university students fail to complete their degree courses, it is claimed.
Despite an £800million scheme to curb the drop-out rate, it has remained virtually the same in the past five years, an influential committee of MPs warns "


I have long campaigned against this ridiculous policy of shoehorning the-not-very-talented into university courses. If you abandon that ridiculous way of disguising unemployment statistics for a year or two, you would have sufficient funds to return to the previously desirable system of grants for the deserving and standards would inevitably rise as a rather nice, supplementary benefit.
