An interesting article in the Guardian which examines various viewpoints on this issue.
I feel there needs to be a happy medium
- learning and acquiring knowledge, but also the skills and confidence to challenge the status quo, analyse and critically reflect;
- encouraging students to explore and take themselves out of their comfort zones, provide opportunities to increase their self-belief and self-confidence and their understanding of the distance travelled during their studies so that they are able to articulate their learning, skills and attributes to finally equip our students to be able to maximise the investment they have made in their education.
Not much then!
I think it is important to remember that most of our students do not have private incomes, and will and do, have to earn a living.
What do you think?
