Rejected petition Give university education to the Department of Education

More details

The department of Business, Innovation and Skills is responsible for our universities.

Move university education to the Department for Education to provide an integrated school and university system.

The Department for Business is driving up fees for UK students, encouraging more foreign students who pay more fees to take places our own students should have access to. We must let universities take only the best students. We must prevent the Department for Business from social engineering and blocking our best students from gaining well deserved places at top universities.
