I dont understand that because, more are passing there GCSE's and A levels.. and the Uni across the road from my work has had to build 3000 apartment building... so i think that this story is a little untrue...

proud to be scottish

Im welsh...

over ruled 2-1

Of topic guys!! it will probably effect us too..

It's the hypocricy of labour. Don't get me wrong i would probably vote for them way ahead of the tories but surely a party with left wing ideals would be more likely to not have top up fees? So the poorer, working class people i guess, would not be able to afford it. New Labour is turning slowly blue.

They are almost blue.. i think politics today shpuld be run by younger people...

*cough* sorry

i read the bit at the bottom about financial help for poorer students

i agree and disagree they should make their own way, but maybe the debts are putting them off higher education

i agree, someone like me! 8)

Education is a problem i feel in this country because the government plays with it all the time...

true, but if the government just left education alone and lets say privatised it, it would mean a lot less people getting a good education.

hear hear

I reckon I'd make a wicked PM, my tiger/bunny rabbit could be my mascot kidding - they need someone who lies all the time, and talks very slow so Im out! Anyone else?
