I read this morning that in spite of the shambles of the A level results, more young people were going to university than previous years. Probably, to some extent, due to the expected reduction students from overseas. This has caused universities to accept more home grown students. Also the lack of apprentice ships and vocational training available to school leavers almost force young people, by default, into university. in On one hand this sounds fantastic news. But on the other hand should we be persuading our young to go down this route.
With many graduates chasing an ever decreasing pool of graduate type jobs, are we selling them an unrealistic dream. Particular this year where new students may find face to face tuition with a tutor very limited and fees will leave most in horrendous debt.
I can hardly believe Ive just said that. But I wonder, if my children were 18 now, whether I would be encouraging them down that road.
Should women have equal pay and opportunities?
