Dr. Holly Walters"Rishi Sunak will announce on Monday that he will CAP the number of students wanting to study "low-value" degrees."
Want to know what I think?
"Courses will be capped that do not have a high proportion of graduates getting a professional job, going into postgraduate study or starting a business"
From now on, philosophy, language, religion, politics, and culture will be exclusively the purview of the very rich.
For everyone else, college is where you will acquire specific skills that you will trade for wages on the capitalist market. Nothing else.
Let's be clear. Those "low value" degrees are all the degrees were you learn how power works. How knowledge is made. Where hierarchies and ideologies come from. And why all of that is considered "low value" and by whom.
Jacqueline@Manigarm Yep. I went to school for criminal justice, because I wanted to be a cop - because I thought that was the best way to serve my community (being that I was a stupid teenager lol). Instead, I learned about how society, deviance, and social control *actually* work, and I learned about how the cops exist to serve the rich at the expense of the poor and marginalized. Doing that "low value" program turned me from a weakass wannabe-cop liberal to a committed anarchist and labor unionist. 100%
