  • Violence erupts at tuition fee protests
    15th November 2010

    Students protesting against the rise in tuition fees have clashed with riot police in a conflict that ended in the demolition of the glass front of the Conservative party headquarters in London. We ask what direction the protests will take next and examine the contradictory reactions to the violence. Though many have condemned the use of violent protest, others have praised the actions of those students prepared to go to any lengths to defend their right to education.

  • Graduate Unemployment Rises Again
    10th November 2010

    With the announcement that graduate unemployment has risen once again, we ask whether a university degree costing £40,000 of debt is a worthwhile accolade when it won’t even guarantee you a job.

Whilst French students have leapt to their own defence, organising political rallies and government protests, English students have once again showed their complete political apathy, failing to form an active community or mount any real demonstrations at all, in spite of the enormous threat of hugely raised tuition fees.

  • Tuition Fees: The Browne Review
    21st October 2010

    The long-awaited Browne Review of Higher Education and Student Funding has finally been published. We examine its implications, both short-term in terms of crippling financial strain for students and long-term for the country at large. The government may be desperately trying to solve an enormous debt problem, but fears are rising that adopting Browne’s recommendations would create much deeper issues for our society and economy in the long-run.

    01st September 2010

    A level results have arrived with another record pass rate, but is it good or bad news for the students receiving them? Has the new A* grade done what it was supposed to or simply made the ever-improving results even more difficult to evaluate?
