Shouldn't this topic be called 'Higher Education'?

[tethersend]

Or am I just being a twat?

does mn not have a higher education topic?

I don't know... I assumed not as almost every thread on here is about HE.

I am a bit bored. But this has been bugging me for a while.

what does higher education mean?

I know further education is education after you have left school - which maybe straight away when you leave school or some time in the future

I was just thinking the same thing, after seeing an Oxbridge thread pop up in Active Convos under 'Further Education'.

I always think the same. This is definitely used for HE, not FE.

FE is sixth form/college, so A-Levels/Btecs/NVQs etc (generally 16-18). HE is Certificates, Diplomas and Degrees (generally 18+).

I thought this too.

The Student Parents topic annoys me as well as is it just for students who are parents who don't work? I want a sub-topic of Working and a Student Parents.

YEs me too Swedish. But then, maybe there are enough topics?

I'd be happy with serious stuff and mindless drivel being the only two topics tbh.

This could be a job for pedants' corner...

You know, seeing as everyone in this topic is talking about Uni, yes, it should be called Higher Education.

'Fraid I wasn't at MNHQ when this topic was created so am not entirely sure what it was intended to include but Further Ed is definitely post-16 education - for school-leavers and adults (who may have not been to school for decades). Whereas Higher Ed is University education.

We'll discuss at the Towers next week - and see what's best to do. Thanks for pointing it out.

mindless drivel - great idea

It always bugs me too!

This has annoyed me for years, but then I'm a pedantic indexer.
