Diane appalled as thousands denied University place

Diane has welcomed today’s record A level results but is appalled at the number of students that will miss out on university places altogether.

More pupils achieved A* grades than ever before and a record number of students have applied to go to university.

However, as many as 180,000 students could miss out on a university place this year because of caps on universities who face fines for over-recruiting.

Diane, who has spoken out against imposing a graduate tax, believes that further education should be available to all.

Diane said:

“I’d like to congratulate all those students who achieved their grades and managed to secure themselves a university place.

However, along with today’s record grades come record levels of young people who will have their dreams dashed as they are denied the opportunity to go to university.

Our A Level students are performing better and better every year, but instead of rewarding them, the government is limiting university places and sending them into a downtrodden job market.

We should be celebrating our students and encouraging them into further education.

A government that does not consider education a priority has clearly got its priorities all wrong.”
