IT'S great that the youngsters in Blackburn and Darwen are being urged to "aim higher" in their educational ambitions by going to university but are the people running the road show going to tell those youngsters the financial reality of going into higher education in this day and age.
Yes, you go to university to study hard for a degree but you leave with what almost amounts to the national debt with no guarantee of future employment.
My youngest daughter is currently in her second year of a four-year course at Manchester. When she has completed her course she will leave, hopefully, with a degree but also with debts in excess of £16,000. Where's the encouragement in that?
