Last week the British university system offered a record number of places.
最近,英国大学体系提供了创纪录的录取名额。
That sounds like good news — but do we really need more people to go to university? For that matter, does the world need more universities?
这听起来是个好消息——但我们真的需要更多人上大学吗?而且,世界真的需要更多的大学吗?
The answer feels like it should be yes.
答案感觉应该是肯定的。
Education is good, is it not? But everything has a cost.
教育是好事,不是吗?但凡事都是有成本的。
Education takes time.
教育需要时间。
We could insist that everyone study full-time until the age of 45 but that would surely be too much.
我们可以坚持让每个人全日制学习到45岁,但那肯定过头了。
And if that’s too much, perhaps half the population studying until they’re 21 is also too much.
如果那样过头了,或许一半的人口全日制学习到21岁也过头了。
As for universities, they consume financial and intellectual resources — perhaps those resources might be better spent elsewhere.
至于大学,大学消耗了金钱和智力资源——把这些资源用到别的地方或许更好。
My own personal bias is strongly in favour both of going to university, and of simply having universities around.
