What is good about the armed forces in particular, though I'm not sure if this is from this thread or the other so I might be crossing threads here, is that they often pay for further education prospects to attract the more educated youth. This isn't often the focus of the talks delivered to the high school students, when they tend to target the ones who are likely to not get many or particularly good GCSEs.

Education needs full reform I think but I think if I was left to reform it I would have to crack down on both traditional and modern trends and put emphasis on proving more than just an ability to churn out information and more than an ability to pay for the education, because that isn't getting the best out people, at least not at University level.

My tuition fees are rising nicely with inflation. £3225 next year I believe.
$6,500 is still not a bad deal ... you would pay a lot more than that over here, and still more in the US .... but, is there any support from the govt. ... say, in the form of govt. grants and govt. guaranteed loans .... does your university have bursary programs for qualified students who would have trouble paying the fees? Just interested.
