Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Here's Polly Toynbee's view on where extra money in should be spent & its not on reducing ;

while I agree with much of her argument about early years education (which definitely needs re-funding), if as she concludes, we want to (also) expand university education, then reforming tuition fees (and overall HE funding) is also necessary.

In the end; the UK needs a massive rethink of how it delivers & pays for all its levels of education!
