Reading, Writing, and Red Tape
Politicians love to talk about education like they invented books whilst standing proudly at podiums, declaring that “our children are the future,” right before they cut the school budget to buy more flags. They pass laws demanding students score higher on standardized tests, even though half of them think "Pi" is just a dessert and "critical thinking" is a liberal conspiracy. They promise to "listen to teachers," then ignore every actual teacher in a 50-mile radius and consult their cousin Dave who once substitute-taught gym in '98. At this rate, kids will graduate knowing how to recite campaign slogans but still wondering who this "Pythagoras" guy was and why he loved triangles so much.
Coventry University Accused of Prioritizing Property Over People Amid Financial Crisis
- Tuesday, 15 April 2025
Coventry University is facing a £59.3m loss between 2023-24, prompting job cuts of over 60 full-time positions. The university's leaders claim they are "transparent" about their financial position and are implementing change programs to reform the organization. However, union representatives argue that the university is not considering alternative solutions, such as selling underused buildings, instead opting for job cuts. The university owns many properties, including student accommodation, which are currently empty due to a decline in international students.
