The problem is that the last government managed to cheapen Further Education by insisting everyone could and should get a degree.Ridiculous!

It shouldn't be about who can afford buy the education and a degree.It should be about this country making sure her brightest children get the education this country requires whatever their social and economic status.It can only benefit us as a society.

If that means far fewer go to university to get a really worthwhile degree because there isn't enough in the public kitty so be it.If there are fewer universities so be it..A degree should MEAN something not just be a piece of paper to wave at a potential employer.
