Education

For starters I have a problem with the majority of assesment being mainly exams, becuase not everyone can do exams, even if they know all they need to know, they have a 'mind block' when it comes to the test. I think it should be 50% exams and 50% coursework. That way you get an idea of how the student performs. Also, I think coursework should be done only in school and undersupervision to make sure that none of the students cheat.
I also have a big problem with tuition fees in further education. The government says that they want to encourage more people to go to university and yet they wack a £3000 fee at the potential students. I also hear it may go up to £5000. I think the only way your going to get more people to go to Uni' is if you abolish the fees or at least decrease the fee to a more affordable price.
