Gordonomics

Gordon Brown miscalculated the number of students eligible for grants. He was forced to renege on some funding commitments after admitting he had underestimated the number of people entitled to a full student maintenance grant this year by almost 10 per cent.



The reforms were brought in during the first days of Gordon Brown’s premiership they were designed to attract more working-class students into higher education and one third of students were expected to be eligible for the full grant.

Hmmmmmmmm
