Re: A-Level results

It does not stop there.

Universities are closing down STEM departments because they cost too much to run.

For example Reading Uni is closing its 'Systems Engineering' Department

After the Physics Department

I studied Mech Eng at a Poly in the 1970's. They had a full programme of Maths , Science and Engineering. Now? Only the Maths department remains but for how long?

so where are our budding Engineers going to get trained?

Oh, silly me. STEM is not going to get my my 15nano seconds of media fame so many good young people opt for softer 'Media Studies' courses in the hope of becoming a 'z' list celeb.
