Comments on: Increased profits for Edexcel http://www.psychnews.co.uk/68increased-profits-edexcel.html News for psychology teachers Thu, 14 May 2009 10:46:32 +0200 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Mark http://www.psychnews.co.uk/68increased-profits-edexcel.html/comment-page-1#comment-45 Mark Tue, 04 Dec 2007 23:29:43 +0000 http://www.psychexchange.co.uk/blog/68increased-profits-edexcel.html#comment-45 Thanks for the comment Tony. Although I am not surprised at the gradual takeover of education by these global conglomerates, I am alarmed about the acceptance of this trend and the lack of news and general interest that such issues raise. Unless I have been looking in the wrong places there seem to be very few journalists etc reporting these changes. Where next? AQA to be privatised? Watch this space. Thanks for the comment Tony.

We have reached a stage in the US and in the UK when there is a constant call for additional funds for education. This article is yet another example of how private companies are fleecing educational institutions and indirectly siphoning scarce resources intended for student learning.
