Without a doubt , it can be claimed that British Universities are some of the best in the world. I know some of you may not agree with me but the majority does think that these are places where development and dissemination of ideas takes place, logical and lateral thinking is encouraged, competitiveness, confrontation and collaboration is a ritual turning these institutions into scholastic Nirvanas.
These are undisputed facts , at least as far as the league tables are concerned but are these institutions really provoking intellectual stimulation, appreciating the freedom to speech and allowing room for contradiction.
With such rapid technological changes taking place and rising Asians ...(you know who I'm talking about .... yes... the Chinese and the Indians) will our universities be able to maintain the same awe and aura? Not only that but what is it that brings our institutions in line with America's universities considering their size and their finances.
Through this blog we shall explore the extent to which these claims are true comparing and contrasting British universities current standing with its glorious past and the unseen competition which lies ahead.
Having studied in a developing country myself, at times I truly feel I'm blessed but there are those moments when I am forced to think that things are really really laid back here and if only these resources and facilities were available to some of the people in developing nations maybe things would have been different today.
I maybe completely wrong but that's what we're here to find out!!!
