ReplyDeleteFiddy, has this proposal actually been implemented? It's patently ridiculous to charge 9 grand for an undergrad--talk about a one way ticket to an undereducated population!
ReplyDeleteGood on you for doing the research and pointing out those mp's who hold a hypocritcal stance (though since all of them graduated over 5 years ago, I suppose anyone supporting the bill could be lumped into that category--the Oxbridge folks moreso due to the likely increase in price those unis could charge if there were full deregulation).
In any case, I would submit that any country that wishes the greatest benefit to their population in the long run would prioritize an affordable and effective post-secondary education system.
