Education for All

Well this will be brief, I'm afraid I'm having a moan again. Our government seems intent on self destruction, I have long believed that the wealth of a country is measured by the quality of it's education system .  Now lifting the cap on tuition fees may well put more money into the coffers of the universities but how many people from poorer backgrounds can afford to send their children off for further education?  How many potential laureats will be lost to the world because this government is too short sighted to see that wealth is built on education?  I'm afraid this country will be all the poorer for the decisions been made today!
