More students can mean less

Article Abstract:

The proportion of 18 and 19-year-olds entering higher education in the UK rose from 15% in 1987 to 30% in 1993, although the decline in the size of this population group during the same period meant that the actual number of students of this age entering higher education increased by just over 50%. The government is now looking for a period of consolidation, based mainly on financial considerations. There are certainly limits, both in terms of finance and of academic standards, to the number of students who can be accepted into higher education. It is also important to consider the higher education needs of other population groups.

Our time-less lives

Article Abstract:

Working men and women increasingly do not have enough time for their domestic commitments. People feel less secure in their employment, and restructuring can mean greater stress at work. Increased divorce may mean that parents have to make time for two families, and they may also have parents of their own, who may also be divorced. Even those who can afford to pay staff, such as nannies and cleaners, still find time a problem.
