Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard puzzle
This is entitled "Lampeter welcome to Cardiff University"
I can't work out the occasion
The card is undated but looks early C20
@cardiffunilib.bsky.social @uwtsd.bsky.social @uwtsdlib.bsky.social any thoughts as to what was going on?

Good.
Pay in Universities is a disgrace, with a more than 30% loss in value of earnings over the last decade.
But balloting over this when tens of thousands are at risk of redundancy from UK Universities would be the wrong move.

These arguments about extra time always miss the central point which is that traditional, time-limited, closed book exams are a poor way to assess and if that many students need extra time, then I'd be taking a long, hard look at the assessment method...

Glad the issue of private schools gaming the system to get extra exam time for their pupils has been picked up because I heard this a couple of weeks ago and felt it completely outrageous.
Quite possible that state school pupils have received lower grades as a result.
