The possibility of big increases in university tuition fees is an absolute disgrace.Of course the country cannot afford to subsidise all the countless students we now have.
The last time I heard a statistic, student numbers were in excess of 40% of young people, with an ultimate target of 50%.
Anybody who has taught the second quartile; those school pupils who barely achieve their 5 passes at GCSE, must know that it is extreme folly to send these youngsters en masse into higher education.
The only possible results are 'dumbing down' of courses and astronomically high graduate unemployment in the long term with all the resultant debt and disappointments for a whole generation - or longer unless we reverse this ridiculous policy.
