TJC1 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Aren't we already doing that? There's an awful lot of distance learning available in the UK. we have the technology - remote learning must be the future. ---------- Post added 24-08-2015 at 15:52 ---------- Haven't you heard of the OU?

unbeliever Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 we have the technology - remote learning must be the future. I think you'll find if you look into it, that it's also the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psynuk Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 anything that really has no application in the real world should be cut IMHO. Degrees are too expensive to chuff about for 3 years and have nothing to show for it. That's one of the most stupidest things you've come out with. You'd struggle to actually find a degree that doesn't have an application in the 'real world'. In fact the way you characterise certain strands of education as being more worthy than others simply shows that you don't really know what your on about. It's as if we, as a nation are following a predetermined plan with an end goal, and if someones choice of degree doesn't fit in with that then it's a pointless one and should be cut. We're not btw. If you were to transform that idea for the supermarket they'd sell vitamin tablets and water, because after all why would we need anything else? The David beckham degree is real, in a sense. It was called football culture or some such and was a module on sports science, sociology degree courses. So even the example you give to mock the idea of a pointless degree. Is part of a course that is used as entry to part of a massive industry. The student loan and it's new iteration is practically perfect because it's a way to be inclusive, your hedging your bet with one of the best bits of finance your probably ever going to be offered. Having the cost or the acceptance in any way decided by the parents is wrong, if the parents are well off enough to pay for the kids then great, good for them. But it's not the parents responsibility, degree students are adults and as such need to be treated as individuals by the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a thought, why not give the top 5% brightest (regardless of background) free degrees and let the rest pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
