As part of the government’s policy of modernisation, accountability and fairness, Ed Balls, the Educashun Minister, today announced his latest weapon against elitism…
He told a meeting of Community Outreach Workers, all recent graduates in Lesbian Studies and New Media:
“We have to bring more fairness into education. We also have to get more young people going to university. Unfortunately, that isn’t how our best universities see their role. Instead, they insist on excluding applicants who don’t have qualifications that match up to their requirements. So, I’m bringing in new admission rules for all universities, especially the snobbiest such as Oxford and Cambridge.”
