Post-exam application will generate 'panic'

Article Abstract:

A number of universities in the UK have criticised the Government's plans to reform the admissions system. They claim that the move to do away with the old system, under which candidates applied to universities with estimates of their A-level grades, for a new system under which candidates will make their applications once they have their A-level grades, will result in a last-minute "panic" for places.

It's time to consider the great unmentionable

Article Abstract:

Universities in the UK should be allowed to fail and be closed down for the benefit of the higher education sector as a whole. The existing centrally planned higher education system is a failure, stifling innovation and holding back advances while supporting failing institutions that should be allowed to close down.
