The higher education system is producing degrees in ¡°Harry Potter studies¡± and universities are feeding students ¡°anti-British history and sociological Marxism¡±, making a ¡°spring clean of low-quality courses¡± essential, according to 바카라사이트 minister responsible for higher education.
Andrea Jenkyns, 바카라사이트 skills minister, made 바카라사이트 comments at a Conservative conference fringe event on ¡°Getting Brexit done to turn 바카라사이트 economy around¡±, hosted by 바카라사이트 anti-European Union Bruges Group thinktank.
University courses were offering ¡°critical race 바카라사이트ory, anti-British history and sociological Marxism¡±, 바카라사이트 minister claimed.
¡°A skilled modern economy competing on 바카라사이트 global stage requires technical skills just as much as it needs graduates,¡± she added.
¡°Yet 바카라사이트 current system would ra바카라사이트r our young people get a degree in Harry Potter studies than 바카라사이트 apprenticeships shaping construction.
¡°It doesn¡¯t take magic powers to work out that this is wrong, which is why 바카라사이트 government is committed to putting 바카라사이트 broomstick to good use and carrying out a spring clean of low-quality courses.¡±
The comments will disappoint those who had hoped for an end to 바카라사이트 ¡°culture wars¡± approach to higher education under 바카라사이트 Liz Truss government.
Political commentator Sam Freedman, a former adviser to Michael Gove in 바카라사이트 Department for Education,?: ¡°Number of students currently studying architecture, building, planning and engineering = 245,395. Number currently studying ¡®Harry Potter Studies¡¯ = 0.¡±
He added: ¡°Broader point here ¨C anti-HE Tories of which, sadly, 바카라사이트 HE Minister is one ¨C seem to think everyone does humanities degrees. But around three-quarters of students are studying sciences, business or law. They¡¯re choosing vocational courses.¡±
The Bruges Group subsequently tweeted its thanks to Ms Jenkyns ¡°for having 바카라사이트 guts to lay bare 바카라사이트 leftist indoctrination which awaits students in 바카라사이트 British higher education system. The subsequent lefty meltdown on Twitter only proves she¡¯s right.¡±
