As Zoe Williams correctly observes, when it comes to university education: 'the idea of education as a public good, which we all benefit from even if we didn’t personally undertake it, has vanished from debate; yet nothing systematic or in any way realistic has replaced it'!
The dysfunctional political economy of Higher Education in England & Wales cannot go on like it is, slowly but surely damaging the very university system its meant to support.
And, I would agree with Zoe Williams because some time ago I wrote this for @NWBylines making exactly the same point that the notion of university education as a public good as well as of individual benefit has been comprehensively evacuated from our political class' deliberations on the future of higher education.... but without such a vision the system is bound eventually to collapse!
