Having worked in higher education for 25 years before my current charity sector role, I despair of this language. Of course a university education isn’t a prerequisite for success, but it’s grating when a Cabinet full of HE educated people talks down the sector in this way. https://t.co/0aHlV3AvSt

Tbf to him you can go to university and absolutely fail at life. We went to university to study brewing and look at how that’s gone. https://t.co/6Jk2vY11QN

Always fascinated with the “what is university for” question.

When rich kids are involved: “university is so much more than getting a job: it’s about enriching the soul/rounding you out as a human being”

When it’s a poor kid: “but will this really help them get a better job?” https://t.co/wZhfKhiswL pic.twitter.com/UMahTU0Hvg

You don’t have to go to a functioning hospital to survive a gunshot wound…

But I’d still prefer the option to be available.

And not to be ransacked so your rich mates can by a new yacht. https://t.co/RsqMg63G3K

Maths until 18, education until then too, and 600k student visas – but don’t worry about university. https://t.co/zr7bWlRfsk

Stephen McGann made it personal.

Education transformed my family's fortunes. My father endured 32 yrs of shift-work entirely so his children could benefit from what he was denied by economics and class. He was bright and well trained. What was denied him was intellectual growth and professional social networks.
