And strangely, it appears that the aim of the education system in the UK is now to push everyone into university, whether it is needed for their future careers or not.
The decision to upgrade all the Polytechnics to University was, IMHO, a bad decision and the root of the problems.
There is a place for both the Polytechnics and the Universities. (And also the apprenticeships which the government has now realised are a good idea) There is no one-size fits all.
