Student Debt and Meritocracy

News today that students may face up to around £23k of debt after graduating is a claim teachers should work into teaching about meritocracy in education. It means you can give a bit of further education advice at the same time as well. In fact with personal interest and given the number of interesting posts to the BBC site, this one piece of material will probably keep a good sociology teacher in material for weeks! The problem is rather how to fit it all into the small chunk of time available.
