Whilst this foum is about brewing and not politics,I would have to say as a 63yr old I have NEVER seen my country in such a mess as its in today.Even the 1970s were like a nirvana compared to today. Foodbanks in GREAT Britain i have never been more ashamed.

Why don't we encourage some corporation/industries to partially fund the university places? They will need those graduates.

That is happening in our local college but i don't now if its countrywide.
A NEW engineering scholarship will fund seven students through further education and degree courses as part of an industry and college partnership in Barrow.
Dong Energy has launched the scholarship scheme with Furness College.
The leading windfarm company has set aside £45,000 to help people across Furness who would not otherwise be able to finance themselves through qualifications at the Channelside college to get the education they need to progress in their dream careers.
The scholarship scheme will pay student fees for a range of courses in electrical and mechanical engineering from a national diploma and HNC, through to degrees and honours degrees.

Well quite a few windfarm companies run these and other schemes designed to improve local communities especially when windfarms are to be sited near to villages and towns.
I think though the main motivation is the diffusing of local opposition.
Nonetheless I have to admit any help with skills training is to be warmly welcomed.
