With the Metro reporting yesterday that 70% of students graduate from university with a 2:1, I would say the HE policy in this country is almost irrelevant.
Encouraging those who are not academically talented enough to go to university is a waste of time and resources,all it is doing is shunting the young unemployment figures around, for some professions university is entirely necessary, but I would say for an awful lot more getting the skills you need from doing a job, such as science and engineering, possibly even accountancy is much more important.
