I was very disappointed when I heard David Cameron speaking on education this week.
He told his audience that if the Conservatives win power, because of the tough economic climate, University tuition fees will stay.
This will do nothing to encourage students from poorer backgrounds to consider Higher Education and completely flies in the face of Mr Cameron's promises to make Britain a more inclusive society.
No matter how vigorously they deny it, a Conservative Government will take us back to the 1980s and a degree will once again become the preserve of the rich.
This is a strange one. You must know that the Labour policy is: ".. because of the tough economic climate, University tuition fees will stay". yet if it is the Tories saying it, it will 'send us back to the eighties' if it is Labour you no doubt see it as 'progressive'.
ReplyDeleteYour arguments against the Conservatives seem to be replace any trace of intellectual rigour with an emotional prejudice built on experiences 20-30 years ago.
I suppose if a significant amount of the population are also stuck in the mindset we may well get stuck with Labour again.
