Interesting criticism of the Browne report although I'm not qualified to comment on whether it's pessimism over the interaction of market forces and "culture" are justified.

Very interesting article. And, I suspect, much of what he says is accurate and will come to pass.

The whole 'students as consumers' thing is already in play and will increase, whether that's getting mummy and daddy to phone their tutor to make their excuses for them, or using the NSS and other feedback mechanisms to whine about how they sooooooo don't see why they have to write essays ...

It does seem to put a large burden on 18-year-olds to want what is best for them.

And to know what that might be!
