Facts are facts, rescind degrees until payments start,

You have your *facts* wrong.

Anyway, it sounds like you don't have a clue what it means to gain a degree - it's not the piece of paper you have in your hand that matters; it's what you learn along the way. How are you going to take the learning away? Lobotomise graduates?

Furthermore, graduates have 20 years to pay the loan. If someone doesn't pay after 20 years, do you seriously think it's the piece of paper that keeps them in a job 20 years after graduating? Imagine all those hard-working GPs, architects, lawyers being asked to hand back their degrees. lol


(BTW No one is being anti-Brit but you, with your ideas on how to destroy UK Universities. )

Daily Mail readers don't care if all the UK universities close because of their racist scaremongering stories.

Some people just don't understand that these "loans" are a BRIBE to get foreign students to come over to the UK.

IMO British education doesn't worth a penny, but it is also incomplete.

For example, a UK BSc Engineering graduate won't be able to register as an Engineer and work in Cyprus, because the degree only covers 3 years compared to the 4-year degree one gets from Cyprus (or the US). One would have to complete another year of education and get a UK (pseudo-)MSc degree (which counts as a BSc degree in Cyprus).

MSc degrees in the US or Cyprus are normally 2 years in duration (after a 4-year BSc degree).

Also in the UK, a 3-year BSc grad can enroll to a PhD programme. Getting a PhD degree after only 6 years of university education is just laughable. On top, UK PhD programmes don't normally have (post)graduate courses, which means the UK PhD grad's most advanced courses will be those taken in the 3rd year of the BSc degree!

I remember a number of postgraduate students from Greece and Cyprus, studying for Masters in Maths or Sciences and they all complained they were wasting their time as they were far more advanced in their studies from their first degrees back home than their UK postgraduate course was offering. Some ended up just helping English students and also their tutors to improve.

For sure, the Greek students help improve the standards in the UK.

I can see from your grammar you only had Greek education.

Actually, it's correct, but rather rather Dickensian!

isn't.

Apart from my Greek education, I also had English language classes at The English School.
