You might want to tell Judith that she can’t spell Portakabin.

Get rid of Mickey Mouse degrees such as 'gender studies' and focus instead on sciences or other useful degrees that come with employability

Any degree which gives unconditional offers on a regular basis, to people who haven't even finished sitting A-levels or equivalent, is worthless.

Meritocracy replaced by 'Are they one of us?' Sounds a bit like the Conservatives and UKLabour candidate selection processes.

One-third of 18-year-old university applicants get unconditional offerRise in England, Wales and Northern Ireland fuels debate over student recruitment Most of them don't know that means. :) Not quite unconditional. They still have to stump up £9250 a year. No duh. They want all that easy Student Loans money that you'll spend the rest of your life trying to pay back.

Britain’s university offers system is unfit for purpose and needs replacing | Graeme AthertonIf universities based offers on actual – not predicted – grades, disadvantaged students would get the break they deserve, says Graeme Atherton, director of the National Education Opportunities Network From the UK, about the decision of at what university to study: '...[a new] system would recognise that decision-making regarding university entry begins far earlier than age 17 or 18 for young people, and it would provide information, advice and guidance from age 15 onwards.' Got to love the 'g' full of so called experts who know all the answers to the world . This article is so badly written... And no point do you actually explain how the current system works and why that is a problem. You sort of assume it's a problem and you're trying to convince everyone of that.
