Education

Posted by Michael Dale on Wed, 07 Sep 2005 4:05 PM

I was going to post something about how the Federal Government sucks with it’s on going funding cuts to Universities and how VSU (Voluntary Student Unionism) is going to end up killing just about all services for students. But I really don’t have the energy.

Universities (and education in general, particularly public education) in Australia are not in a good state. They are turning into places where you pay money to be given bachelors in something. You are not actually been given an education. Kind of like those “Online Universities”.

The whole point of education is to ensure that the nation does not become left behind in the global economy, and simply to be a “smart nation”.

More money should be put into education, not less.

Far out, I hate politics. It’s like religion, just another topic for people to disagree about.
