University isn’t for everyone. More apprenticeships/alternatives to University Education are required
@9NK35C77mos7MO
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.
@9ZT3ZTW2mos2MO
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.

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
@9PWDD5L 7mos7MO
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
@9PSDQ9B7mos7MO
"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
@9PRNF5F7mos7MO
No, but universities need to be made aware of these graduates so that support can be offered in finding a higher income job.
@9PRGGCL7mos7MO
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.
