I'm p sure that was the idea with the tories jacking up university fees

how old are you lorne?

Manchester wanted A* A* A from me Birmingham wanted A*AA. entry requirements arent going down for physics at least

I never went to UNI and I am fine with that.

21

You can in germany @LorneM

About tree fiddy

fuc sake

Lorne, you are younger than I thought

what I mean torch, is that those grades wouldn't be worth the same level of achievement overseas

I was never an academic (obviously) but now I find it easier to study.

get an A* in further maths a-level & get back to me

not buying that

Even though my school completely fucked me I got semi okay GCSEs

Didn’t get my maths though and still struggle with numbers because dyspraxia

I see people get hired from here and from abroad, and although technically their qualifications are meant to be the same level, the foreign hires are *way* better.

is just personal exp though

ok, nice anecdote

lol

>*what is selection bias*

@TBORIOT , It isn't just that standards are lower, but:
The UK's educational system is failing people in what is being taught,
Classrooms (especially in my school) were awful and punishments were not good enough,
Parent mentality to a lot of education is 'it is your job to discipline them' instead of enforcing good behaviour with their children

I was fucking brilliant in English though

my friend went abroad to study veterinary medicine because it was easier with lower requirements lul

*Obviously the ones coming from abroad are above average*

Oh, I also forgot... UK keep changing their standards like every fucking year!

English was the only higher paper I did 😂

And I got a B

Kangaroo is good meat

It is so hard to kick out a student in KS3 now days like, students see it as a prison or a permanent safety net

well, I'll stop talking about it and go back to shitposting then

@TBORIOT yeah, but people know the Gov will be their baby daddy in the UK

If everything goes alright with the Navy and I get qualifications and I do end up based in Scotland for 4+ years I’ll go to uni for free bois

*Grade requirements change according to demand, high demand for the course = high entry requirements* you still get the top X% of the cohort

I really wanna study history and be a history teacher

yep, the lazy can just claim benefits and ggez

this is for university entry you mong

@Firetechy me nigga

also good to remember our parents got student *grants* not loans

No

good. dont want welder down the road paying for me to fuck about with lasers

My parents didn’t go to uni they’re from Dumfries and Glasgow not exactly genius areas 😂
