THE UK is the best country in Europe for awarding a university place to anybody who would like one.
According to an international survey, the country’s education system scored highly on a series of key criteria including: creating lots of universities; realising the universities need to be filled; and making it impossible to not get a place at one of those universities.
Meanwhile, British schools were also judged to be very good at deciding for themselves what constitutes an acceptable level of literacy and numeracy and then using that to prove how splendid they are.
Education secretary Michael Gove said the results would get even better once pupils are doing the new A-level in Russell Brand, before going on to do a degree in Russell Brand at the £9,000 a year Russell Brand University of the East Midlands.
