RlCO 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Why is private company investing in a course tailored to that particular company a bad thing btw? Because the resulting 'qualification' has a legal academic status and equivalency across all other national educational qualifications, as yet unprecedented in the UK system. Privatisation by the back door. You've already said all that but why is that a bad thing? Conflict of interest. Unbiased recognition by industry. Recognition abroad. General socialist ethic. Corruption. Legal implications for discrimination laws. Public accountability for incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Well, I asked the question because I thought you were being unreasonably cynical about this. If you can't provide more than a meaningless list, I'll assume I was right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 To be fair, it's not going to have any influence over our lives whatsoever. I think every single contributor to this thread has at least a BA/Bsc. Not sure about Rico. Maybe that's why he's so bitter. Still working on his GCSEs at the age of 27 or something.
