Education: Your views - Time for just rewards
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It is time the extra funding given to Oxbridge colleges to fund their tutorial system was scrapped. There are, I believe, two persuasive reasons for this. Firstly, both Oxford and Cambridge could easily afford to fund this system by redistributing wealth between the extremely wealthy and the less well-endowed colleges. Secondly, given the fact that Oxford is being severely tested in almost every university league table published, by both Imperial College and LSE (as well as Warwick, for example), why do these universities not qualify for extra funding to reward their academic excellence?
