All unis should banned from teaching non-vocational deegres on the taxypayer, except Oxbridge, Imperial, LSE, UCL, St Andrews, Durham, Warwick, Bath, Bristol, Exeter, KCL, Edinburgh, Manchester and Nottingham.
I think university is a joke really. So, so, so many people i meet say things like "I got an apprenticeship at IBM and now I'm earning 30k".
Somewhere down the line, university (where you learn about the academic world of research and theses rather than employability-skills like client management) have managed to trick students into thinking that they have something to do with vocation.
James Dyson leads the way. Either apprenticeships or vocational degrees at specialist colleges like his which lead directly into a job should be for most people.
Let's not shut down 200+ universities, but lets privatise their inefficient schemes (non-vocational Undergraduate courses) and keep them as purely seats of academia.
We should only entirely fund our the top 15 unis as they are 'national treasures'.
