Higher Education

Abstract

Higher education lacks the biggest pressure group of all — the electorate. Most voters have been to school: substantial numbers of them are parents and grandparents. So there is always a certain amount of electoral mileage to be got out of doing something for the schools. The state of school building was an issue in the 1964 election campaign. It rumbled on for a week, which is pretty good going. The end of selection at 11 plus has been a party policy for the last three elections.
