Broke and Broken – A Critique of the Higher Education Funding System
The UK National Union of Students (NUS) has produced an excellent and disturbing report on the higher education student funding in England: Broke and Broken – A Critique of the Higher Education Funding System. This well-researched report how students in England have to: ‘take a huge financial risk, with no guarantee of success’ (p.4). Money can readily be found for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or to rescue financial institutions such as Northern Rock. Yet the Blairite UK government feels ‘unable’ and unwilling to invest sufficiently in the talents and creative capacities of the nation’s students – who will go on to add billions to UK economic growth via the exploitation of their skilled labour power and in working to better the lives of millions in what remains of our ‘public’ services.
