		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s argued that that computer literacy in schools should mean more than word processing. (And the kids are well ahead of the schools.) What would a digitally literate UK entail? There are four million bloggers in the UK. (Recently, I confess, I&#8217;ve been feeling a bit ambivalent about the unstoppable march of The Blog. OK, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s that time of year again! (And I haven&#8217;t written on the topic lately so I&#8217;m not bored with it yet.) [Update: but I am bored with looking at it now so most of it's going under the fold until I think of something new to say.] The latest diatribe against Mickey Mouse HE [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bill Rammell, higher education minister, reckons the latest survey proves that the public supports its policy on tuition fees. So take a slightly closer look. Yep, 77% of respondents think that students should &#8216;pay something towards going to university&#8217;. Well, no shit. I don&#8217;t have a problem with that (as long as they don&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Report on doctoral research in the humanities (this is for the UK, compiled by the Arts &#038; Humanities Research Council). Some interesting statistics. (And they think there should be more money for postdoctoral funding, with which I&#8217;d heartily concur. The AHRC, as far as I can recall, currently has no postdoc fellowship schemes of any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A deal has been struck: students resident in Wales won&#8217;t have to pay top-up fees at Welsh universities, while English and Scottish students will (as will Welsh students who go to English universities). The National Assembly will compensate the universities for the difference (more than £50 million a year by 2009/10). It has also, apparently, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to the mighty Luker, I just came across Prof Blogger&#8217;s Pontifications. (Let&#8217;s not go into the subject of weasels&#8217; testicles here, however.) Well worth a visit (and duly blogrolled). A word of caution to this particular post on an alleged course at Syracuse University about the rapper Lil&#8217; Kim, however. I&#8217;ve learned to distrust [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So an exam board has decided how many extra marks to allow students for a range of personal trauma on or close to the day of an exam, and this is scandalous. It encourages an &#8220;excuse for anything&#8221; culture, etc. Well, permit me some scepticism. It&#8217;s clear enough on reading the article that the only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fairly recently, I recall there being some discussion at Cliopatria (thanks to Jonathan Dresner for the link) on average completion times for US PhDs. Well, now we might be able to do some comparisons: Study reveals low completion rates. Low? What that means, apparently, is that &#8220;Nearly three out of 10 full-time PhD students have [...]]]></description>
