The ConDems are planning massive cuts to the funding of UK Universities.
Planned cuts from the current £3.9 billion the government currently subsidise the Universities to a only £7 million will leave the students having to pay alot more for their education. the current ceiling that Universities can charge students is £3290 a year, this is to be scrapped and Universities can charge ht ever they wish.
Lord Browne , former boss of BP feels that this give more power to the students. The Universities will be able to double, treble or even quadruple their fees, this will according to Lord Browne will take power away from the Universities, and give power to the studentys. The students will have the power to say, no I can't afford to go to university, I wasn't aware that at present, they didn't have this power.
Lord Browne, has calulated that a student will make 400% profit from paying the extra tuition fees. Only the important science, or medical courses will have a small piece of the £7million, the other courses wil get nothing.
Lord Browne as well as most of the government gained their university degrees funded for them by the tax payer. the LibDems won there seats, by pledging to abolish universitive fees. The conservatives have stooped the school building programmes in order to fund their own type of "Free Schools" while also stopping the refurbishment of derelict school our children are going to. Unfortunately the condition of some schools, with leaking roofs and no heating, are not the concern of this government. If these children were animals, they would have rights, as human beings they have none.
I don't know how much Lord Browne was paid to suggest the government investment in university funding should be cut from £3.9 billion to just £7million, it probably took less than 1 hour to think of it and write it down.
I think that all MP's should work for free, that will save the country millions of pounds, my fee for this suggestion is a mere £2.5 million. read more
