Listening to the news on the radio this morning it has been suggested that colleges that don't offer the best education for it's students should be:-

*Improved/have further investment/have better teachers.
*delete all of the above

No, the wise amongst us have decided that they should be closed down, how is that going to improve the situation? After all if they are closed then the students will all somehow have to be found places in the 'better' colleges resulting in overcrowding, lack of resources and an inevitable lowering in standard due to these problems.
The end result will be more colleges offering poorer standards of education and so the spiral would continue until, no more colleges?

We keep being told that there is not enough investment in training for the skills gap that exists in this country, I cannot see how this is going to help!

What we have been promised is Education, Education, Education. For the sake of our young can they please make this a promise that they keep.
