London's educational institutions have been quite
expensive, to be honest, and it's just proper to see some alternatives from the
far-offs to offer their own brand of education to youngsters in London. It is
indeed cheap to live in the North and Midlands and universities from Leicester
and Hull understand the value of this competition.
Leicester, according to this Independent article, had
formed a "partnership agreement" with seven London schools that would
allow one student per school a £1000 scholarship to take up their place in the
university. Leicester had also targeted a range of secondary schools, academies
and high-performing sixth-form colleges in the capital to provide some
"taste test" education.
To further lubricate things for them, they're also
teaching educational staff how to instruct students in filling up their
university forms.
To be honest, Leicester is still in the neighbourhood
of London. It's not that far off. And I've seen the school; it's just like
London's universities, complete with an improved curriculum. What's more, the
area is completely urbanised.
Well, Leicester, Hull and other schools outside of London
gain their fair share of students from the capital on a yearly basis. It's just
that most would want to stay in the capital for some reason and they do not
realise they are missing out to live on somewhere that can help pay off their
student loans in a shorter time.
