OT: Uni, was: Cambrige - London traffic up 75%

Potential students should always get the opportunity, whether or not anyone else considers them deserving of it. If the admissions process (assuming it's not as unfair as it was a few years ago) prevents them doing the courses they want, so be it, but economic factors should not. You seem to be saying that anyone should be allowed to do any University course of their own choice with no hurdles placed in their way at all, i.e. with no academic selection nor by them having to pay for it. Is that actually what you mean? regards Stephen |

Is that actually what you mean? No it isn't. Academic selection is sometimes needed, and where it is, it should be done fairly (not making the decisions until the academic results are known). However, I support an increase in the number of places so that academic selection is not so heavily relied upon. As for paying for it, I advocate the Australian system, where students don't have to pay upfront, nor do they have to pay until they're actually making a lot of money, nor do they have to pay interest. |
