AH, THE WONDERFUL ADVANTAGES OF SOCIALISM WHERE ALL IS EQUAL.
Nothing wrong with helping out kids who can qualify with good grades who need help. But this does not read that way, unless I misunderstood something.
Oh well, never mind. Commissar will see to things so that comrade students of the oppressed proletariat will be made equal even if they aren’t.
Nick Clegg orders universities to lower entrance requirements - but only for poorer students
By JAMES CHAPMAN
Deputy PM declares class war on ‘instruments of social segregation’
Nick Clegg is to make an explosive attack on British universities as ‘instruments of social segregation’ as he orders them to stop taking so many middle-class students.
The Deputy Prime Minister will this week insist that top institutions must ‘throw open their doors’ and lower their entrance requirements for the less well-off.
It could mean top institutions such as Oxford and Cambridge, that usually ask for three As at A-level, accepting disadvantaged students with only Bs and Cs.
Universities that want to charge tuition fees of £6,000 or more will be forced to sign up to ‘access agreements’, ensuring they admit more students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The move will prompt fears that bright pupils from good schools or middle-class homes could lose out on sought-after places.
Cambridge University today revealed it is planning to charge students the maximum £9,000 in tuition fees from next year.
Poorer students would be offered reductions of up to £3,000 per year, plus bursaries of up to £1,625.
Mr Clegg will on Thursday write to the Office of Fair Access – the body set up by Labour to police university admissions – setting out the new system.
Institutions are expected to be allowed to draw up their own methods of broadening their intake.
But critics fear teenagers from comprehensives will increasingly be given easier A-level offers than candidates from fee-paying schools.
One headmaster suggested to the Times that universities that usually ask for three As at A-level from candidates could accept disadvantaged pupils with Bs and Cs.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
