University applications fall

Post by willowsticks »

I found the link below interesting. last September my DS Headmaster said that this year and the next few years universities will be competing for students as there is a drop in the teenage population.

University applications fall with drop in nursing and EU students.

I think most people predicted this with the uncertainty around Brexit.

Maybe some are starting to listen to one of the most outspoken yet sensible social scientists in England today. The link takes you to a page on his website where you can either download the PDF or read the online version of an article related to this topic.
