Thread: England leading the world in College education

The ongoing review will cut the cost of silly worthless “art” degrees, so the shortfall in maths science and engineering graduates will be among the most expensive.
Catch 22

That pretty chart is a bit misleading.

According to the College Board, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2017–2018 school year was $34,740 at private colleges, $9,970 for state residents at public colleges, and $25,620 for out-of-state residents attending public universities.

So basically it's only cheap if you go to your local college, which may or may not be good for your chosen vocation.

Which, by the way, does not mean I don't think University education should be free.

Having said that, Republicans like uneducated oiks. They make good baldy orange cunto voters.

I like the Hungarian approach:

The government does allow students to gain a free university education, however — as long as they stay in the country for 10 years after they graduate or face paying back their tuition fees.

To me that's the wrong way round as in engineering, science degrees as in worthwhile degrees should be free where as pointless shit like media studies where people are just doing it to have a 3 year piss up at Uni and the degree is basically worthless should be charged the maximum.

Left out the word "costs" in the title......

At least May said they were trying to improve the technical side of education.

Does more money spent equal better education?

I think not...

When you say 'college' do you mean high school or university?

Certainly not. Think the zero cost nations have a damn good acedemic standing.

Public universities.

The really bright English will move to Scotland lowering the IQ of both nations.

The deep and dangerous ideals of an educational for-profit machine instead of an educational foundation has become quite apparent -
Somewhere down the line the base of a little or no cost [state subsidized] educated/trained population that beneficially cycles back into a strong society and culture has been missed by much of the world.

Very little to do with education, and very much everything with high profit motive - be it public or private institutions.
Closely related to public health services/plans - the line is drawn regarding a health service to mega-profits.

We certainly could learn from the assorted Scandinavian societies, who seem to have such quality institutions secure.

Colleges can also mean education for students of 16 to 18 years old for "trades" etc. similar to Thailand.

There also used to be Teacher Training Colleges for post 18 year students, but they may not be around now.

Was no great insight or knowledge on my part. Simply read what it said in the OP.

There was a time when provincial Rajabhat Universities were set-up to be geared for teachers training among other liberal arts directions, but today one can find the so-called "teacher's education" curriculum within most university and college settings - even within the steadfast Technical Colleges, where they adhere to strategies of teachers training .
