Manchester University to charge 9 grand a year.

[SWP's back]

I agree that it would need restructuring, but I really don't see why it should not be expected that STUDENTS (and lets all just remember what that word actually means) should do 9-5.30 + 90 mins/2hrs home study a night.....then they can do sports/get pished all weekend!

As BB2.0 has no experience of university it is clear he is spouting his usual know-fuckall hot air.
I think to get a first a student will be doing those hours. It's only feckless turds who think a 2:2 is worth anything who fuck about.

The majority fucked about if I remember correctly. Maybe these fees will stop those "likely to fuck about and get a 2:2" from enrolling.

Sounds like a good plan, well said.

The only class war that is being waged is by this Government..........

If it puts one person off doing a worthwhile course, bettering themselves (and society) then its the wrong policy........


You will also note that I do not stand in favour of any political party. I treat them all with the same disdain. As far as I am concerned MP's lost all credibility with the expenses scandal (and they are still at it and have learned nothing) and their false wars


LIARS THIEVES AND CHEATS THE LOT OF THEM

Is this your catchphrase? I'm pretty sure I've seen you post it once or twice before.

correct.....................


My view is that the people who run this country should live our lives

simples * really

People who make decisions about our education system should use our education system (over 70% of all MP's are privately educated)

People who make decisions about our health service should use our health service.(with the same levels of service that we receive) and not be entitled to go private.(paid for by me and you)

People who make decisions about Policing should not be entitled to claim £2000 per year to pay for security measures at both of their homes.

People who make decisions about our transport infrastructure should not be able to claim for first class rail travel /take free annual season tickets from train companies / travel in a limo (cost to taxpayer £110,000 per annum each).

People who make decisions about tax and VAT should not be allowed to claim for items such as a new TV / Duckhouse etc or submit an expenses claim for petrol costs without any justification. (one MP claimed over £16,000 in one year ,simply for petrol)

People who make decisions about the tax structure of this country should not be entitled to hide their £61 million trust fund in the Caymen Islands (Gideon / George Osborne) and save themselves £1.6 million a year in tax.

People who make decisions that result in the closure of libraries , the withdrawl of public facilities should not be allowed to spend £56 million launching 112 tomahawk missiles and a further £3.2 million a day maintaining the no fly zone over Libya.

People who make decisions about Mortgage rates should not be entitled to buy a second home and not pay interest charges(interest reimbursed through the expenses system)

People who decide that they will apply a 'flight tax' should not be able to claim for the transport costs of their family (up to the age 18) for trips any where in Europe.


ohhhhh I could go on

Only when they live our lives can we say that we are all in this together

Well thats basically what Im saying (couldn't resist getting a sly one in though could you sonny jim?!)

I got average GCSE's and three C's at A level.....I could have gone to uni, had a great three years, come out with a 2:2 and a shit load of debt, like so many of my friends did. I had other skills and took them into the working world, THAT was the right choice for ME, Im not naturally academic, but I am business minded.

My brother on the other hand was an excellent student, he got a 1st in Law and has gone onto achieve unbelievable success in his life-horses for courses.

What annoys me is teachers and parents pushing kids to go to uni when they're not cut out for it, its seeting the up to fail.

Have to agree with the above poster for some schools these days, it seems your deemed a complete failure if you don't go to Uni.

The latest University to confirm charging 9k a year...Leeds Met!

I agree that students should pay for their education when in high paid jobs.

What infuriates me is that it costs nothing like 9k to educate 1 student for a year.
The fees are going up to that amount largely to subsidize post graduate research cuts (100% cuts for most non science disciplines).
