Turning universities into sausage factories - keep them poor, so students pay more and learn less....

Friday, 3 July 2020 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Jacques and Jennifer talk about proposed changes to university funding, with attacks on the humanities, arts and social sciences to make people ‘job-ready’ and create docile citizens.

Meanwhile, having lost the 'lucrative' international trade in students, things can only get worse... especially as it seems that it's all directed to privatisation of what needs to remain a public 'duty' to educate (rather than 'train') the next generation of citizens!

 

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
