Sorry to disagree , but some of the teachers from 30 odd years ago (who only attended teacher training college) were a damn sight better than than some/many of the teachers of today , prime example literacy rates and the use of proper English by their end product. , maybe some will disagree , but it's my humble opinion "Degrees" have been dumbed down for political reasons (the 'no one is a loser, everyone is worth a prize' mentality), some reports go so far as to compare a present day "Degree" from one of the new universities as being on a par to a 60s A Level .
Said it before and will say it again , Places that 5 /10/15 years ago who used to issue diplomas in cake decoration or tyre changing are not universities , but technical colleges offering adult education under a different name .
