The UK government must ensure core subjects are taught in every region

It is really sad that there is any encouragement to live long-term in the parental home when one is an adult. It is indeed the whole point that you go away to study and develop away from often stifling parental input. If we are viewing education as just a way to produce a stream of skilled conformists then fine but that is not how I see the transformational potential of education. Living at home risks what I would describe as the "Educating Rita" issue, where the wider family group does not see that one cannot be educated and remain the same. This will always be a problem for the "working class" and one that I have observed. Sometimes, being educated means that you can never "fit in" to the family as previously and so significant tension could result.
