University isn’t for everyone. More apprenticeships/alternatives to University Education are required
@9NK35C79mos9MO
Yes but we should close courses that are not traditional courses. Such as gender studies and any studies which push Marxist intellectual thinking as fact.
@9ZT3ZTW3mos3MO
No, but students should be given a dynamic risk score of the likelihood of getting a career if they pick a course. For example if you pick up art, it's unlikely you will be the next Van Gogh. If you pick a teaching degree, you're likely to become a teacher.
@9QH5JDZ8mos8MO
There are to many silly University courses, and when graduates finish Uni, there a few jobs but 1000’s of applicants almost impossible to get a good job in the UK, so Uni is a scam.
Also the UK does not have an economy so they should sort that out first, but should introduce more apprenticeship rather than University courses
@9PRGGCL8mos8MO
For British students, degrees they study should be proportionately matched to their expected financial income as an aim and therefore be free. Not to be an excuse for a student to coast along, but a reasonable target. For foreign students - they should pay.
@93MNLQ3 8mos8MO
No, we should work on decreasing the cost of education. We should also move certain courses out of the standard university system and into a different education institution.
@9PWDD5L 8mos8MO
No but students should be allowed leaner payment terms where applicable and monitored so when they have jobs with which they can pay the loans of at those lower terms the payments can start
@9PSDQ9B8mos8MO
"Student Loans" should be funded upfront by the govt and not sold on the secondary market, it should also be impossible to "default" against a student loan
