And a massive increase in fees is going to ensure that we get that skillset and it is not going to put people off going to university due to the costs involved.
All we will end up with is an elitist education system in this country and only people with money going to university, the examples of other countries such as the US and Canada is all well and good but this county is not used to these kind of charges, and it will be many years before it is accepted and in that time much of our home grown talent will not have gone to university due to the costs involved.
