The education secretary Bridget Phillipson, announced in the House of Commons yesterday that students fees from September 2025 - would increase to £9,535. They would be reviewed in the spring - whether to increase thereafter? The intention is to have them index linked to inflation. So in theory they could be as much as £10,500 in September 2029. The university community has welcomed the increase as the finances of universities are on a knife edge. However the National Union of Students (NUS) has decried the proposal - as this would place an extra burden on them post university. The devolved governments are responsible for their own policies.
From my own experience going to the London School of Economics(LSE) had a very beneficial result and I did a further post-graduate course in - Psychiatric Social Work again at the LSE and at The Tavistock Clinic, in Hampstead, London, in child and adolescent psychiatry. I then worked in adult psychiatry for 4 years and then in specialist - Family Day Unit - working with very dysfunctional families for 6 years. This allowed me to work in adult, child and family psychiatry. Moreover it enabled me to train as a psychoanalyst and work in private practice for many years from 1985 to 2002. I became the chairman and council member of the London Centre for Psychotherapy and also taught there. I did additional training in family therapy and group therapy and became a teacher and council member of The Institute of Family Therapy, London and teacher and co-conductor of a weekly large group at the Institute of Group Analysis.
Neither of my two siblings went and I know my brother in particular resents the fact that he didn’t go and is envious that I did. Both of my children went onto university and are pleased they did so.
