BBC NEWS | Education | University drop-out rate rising
I suppose in a way this is inevitable if you have more young people going to University.
Putting aside whether you think this is a good or a bad thing the fact that some of the highest drop out rates in England are in London you wonder whether mergers might be on the horizon. Does London need all the Universities it has?
The Council last night started an investigation into the plans for Kingston University to massively expand its provision. The fact is that we need to ask real questions about whether we as a Borough want or can accommodate the types of growth that the University wants. The most fascinating thing to emerge last night that is if you add together the graduates from Kingston University who stayed in Kingston to the numbers currently attending they already account for about 20% of Kingston's residents.

EDUCATION IS A GOOD THING
Most drop out because they suffer from delusions of adequacy,given that a* grades require little more than 25% pass rate when "course work" is involved and that in turn means skilled use of the search engine to find all answers to cut and paste.
When the poor darlings come up against a real lecturer who expects some intellectual rigour to be involved,they dissolve and go home to mum.
