Più adolescenti per ottenere la loro scelta di uni anche se mancano i loro voti, dice UCA

>Dr Jo Saxton said universities were keen to enrol UK undergraduates because there was more “uncertainty” around international student numbers.

>She said they would “quite possibly” accept students who did not meet the conditions of their offer adding that domestic students offered universities “stability” for “financial planning”.

Just in case anyone wants to make this a weird “kids these days / participation trophies” thing. It’s just a pure business decision.

Because the UK likes to make policy decisions that harm its best performing sectors rather than help them i.e tightening eligibility for international student visas.

We talk about the “best and brightest” in the immigration debate which makes this feel especially cynical.

This whole thing erodes the reputations of our universities as graduate outcomes will worsen.

Great! A letter on a piece of paper doesn’t always reflect how “*good*” they are and they can always catch up at uni if needed, the first year is anyway getting everyone to a standard level (imo) to build on in year 2.

The more kids we can get into uni (or apprenticeships, really), the better for all of us.

Nice segue to yesterday’s discussion about debt ridden graduates on the dole.
