Great news that schools are to temporarily utilise university lecture halls to ensure social distancing and crucially for the 5th and 6th year pupils gave them a glimpse at what further education looks like.
As students past and present will tell you the biggest difference in learning between schools and University is the independence to go and seek the answers yourself. University learning is perfectly suited to distance learning as demonstrated by the Open University since it began.
I think the students who are at or going to university in 2020 will be among the best educated generation as they will potentially have a full term of distance learning and save a whole term of living costs.
This cant be underestimated as loans and bank debt are a phenomenal stumbling block. Too many people die on this stumbling block and are also left with mental health issues as they try to work out how £60,000 of debt will stop them ever buying a house.
In the 80's loans were introduced and Council house sales shrunk the social housing rental sector. It was a perfect storm.
Without education, perpetrators of some of the worst evils in our society, manifest in the indemic sexism, racism, anti semitic, anti muslim bullying shite and we need to educate these people so they're not evil stupid bastards.
For too long people think that laws and policing behaviour is a solution but its the cause. It certainly never stopped Tony Blair and WMD, it never stopped the banking crisis and it never stopped Boris giving jobs to his pals.who couldn't track or trace a dandelion.
