Education vs Commercial Machine Training

When he first came to power, Tony Blair proudly announced his party's mantra was Education, Education, Education. A worthy enough focus and certainly not an area one would immediately link to frustration and personal debt. On the other hand over the years, as more institutions have gained university status, and student loans have become available to all, schools have encouraged greater numbers of young community to go for degrees without really spelling elsewhere the cost.
