What has gone wrong?
1. Some lunatic(Wilson? Blair?) declared hat fifty per cent of all school leavers should have further education.
2.This was quicky converted into the necessity to have more universities which sprang up like mushrooms.
3. There followed a binge when anybody could have his or her tuition for nothing i.e. paid for by the taxpayers.
4.Screams and howls followed the introduction of student fees. But they were paid.
5. Pleading poverty, the government has tried to hike the fees up by a lot and riots have broken out.
BUT
There are too many students and not enough universities.
Let us build a lot more universities and fill them with the students who can't get in.
Keep plenty of places at the new colleges for foreign students who would have to pay a big premium and thus provide enough money for all the students now living here.
We might even become a net exporter of education as so many people want to say
they have been educatedin England.
This is not so silly as it sounds.
Nigella's bosom seems to have got even bigger. Not a good idea.
