Should the UK expel the boarding school model of HE?

“We may end up…back where we started…with a set of elite universities, the Russell Group, whose model will be mainly residential, and then we’ll have the old polytechnics moving back to the model they were founded on,” focused on teaching mainly local students." Blakey hits the nail on the head here. Tbis is exactly what will happen and I guess where we are going and where the extablishment would like us to go. Of course, so long as admission to these institutions is open and social mobility is respected I t may not be a bad thing, in my opinion (and after all, it is the one that counts!).
