My husband was talking to his former tutor at college at the weekend. He learnt that students are now officially called funding units (or FUs) - which says all you need to know about the state of vocational education in this country.
Such mealy-mouthed terms not only annoy me hugely, they also promote exactly the wrong mindset in everyone who uses and accepts them as normal. We seem, collectively, to be in danger of forgetting that the whole purpose of education is, surely, to impart knowledge to people: not to get money for bums on seats?
