Labours Education


Everyone has a right to an education this i firmly believe, is suppose i would have to in the line of work i am in but i also believe that we are always going to need people to do the jobs where an higher education is not needed. Labour have always tried to make university available to everyone who wanted it, making it more accessible and bullying universities into making entrance requirements more achievable to all students. I know this because i was one of those that took advantages of this and took an alternative path to uni rather than your regular A level route. But the back lash of this is that students who are mislead into believing they can cope at degree level, go to university, run up depts and leave without completing the degree. And what then? Well they struggle to find work and as one paper put it they become the coffee shop generation working for minimum wage when they could have used the time and money to build an achievable realistic career. You see, students believe that just going to university entitles you a job but the thing that labour has done has only made degrees less prestigious and ten a penny. Apprenticeships has been something i strongly believe in, and being part of one is something I’m very proud of, on the job training is what needs to be pushed. So when i sit and help a students write their Personnel Statement to a university in the hope that they will get accepted on to an architecture course, only to find that they continually spell, woz, fink and achetecture oh and “hate maffs cuz i cant do it” would i be wrong in thinking that maybe university isn’t right for them, because i know if were to say it i would be the one being judged.

Oh and she got onto the architecture course.......good at personnel statements me!

Oh and Ed Balls is a Wanker
