Seems to me that all previous administrations whether they be left or right have encouraged people to seek higher education as it massages the unemployment figures. Can't blame people for wanting to go to university when they are encouraged to do so. You might also argue that maybe some blame is down to the establishments who have encouraged and promoted so called 'frivolous' degrees in order to look after their own agendas.
KneeOn, as you cannot understand the fact that you will not have to pay back the fees until you earn a certain amount,you would not have the ability to obtain a degree, not even a Micky Mouse one.
I would suggest that you are now aware that there are so many graduates who are still looking for a position that you come into the real world and become useful for instance a nurse,otherwise there is probably only one other profession for you.
I think that there needs to be a rebalancing of Higher/Further Education that encourages people to seek qualifications that suit their abilities, and also a general societal attitude shift that it is in fact okay to get a job without going down the Higher/Further Education route.
Also I think that each course that these institutions run should be vetted to see whether they merit any funding from the public purse.
