In short, you are saying that if you are going to get a 2:2 you are a thicko and going to university was a waste of time and money
Kind of assumes that students who got a 2:2 at a selective institution would have got a 2:1 "if only" they had gone to a less selective one. That's not necessarily going to be the case.
What about a 3rd - or don't they exist in the THE?
Doesn't evrybody automatically get a first now anyway with grade inflation ? Higher earnings only apply if you don't end up working in Higher Education !
The assumption that a 2:2 student at a 'selective university' is a 2:1 at a less 'less selective' is both laughable and insulting.
So shifting a 2:2 from a prestigious university to get a 2:1 from a less prestigious university is not a dilution of the degree classification standard across these universities? A solution that aims to create inconsistent HE standards across different universities further.
