Entry should be based on evidence of previous educational attainment (e.g.
school results). Good school kids normally make good UG students.
Basically, nobody who meets the entrance standards should be rejected because
they cannot pay for their education.
Students should not have to “flip-burgers” during term-time to pay for their
education.
