Oxbridge and the Open University

1. Two     universities, Oxford and Cambridge, as they are sometimes jointly called, for seven hundred years dominated British education, and today they dominate more than ever. The students of Oxbridge make up one of the most elite elites in the world. Many great men studied here. Among them Milton, the poet, Cromwell, the soldier and Newton, the scientist. Many prominent Conservative and Labour leaders and ministers, members of the Royal family studied there too.
2. Today         Oxford and Cambridge have less than one-tenth of all British university students (less than 1% of Britain's population). Only a small per cent of the candidates are chosen - mainly on the results of the written examinations.
3. The       division between Oxford and other universities is sham. The division is essentially a class one. A large per cent of Oxford undergraduates come from public schools. Only since the 1870s women have been admitted and the women's colleges constitute only 12% of the Oxbridge population.

4.0xford and Cambridge preserve an antique way of life in the midst of the twentieth century. Both Oxford and Cambridge now consist of self-governing colleges where students live. The students have lectures and tutorials. Each student has a tutor who tells him to write papers on the subjects he is studying. Tutors are responsible for the students' progress.

      5. The Open University was founded in 1964 by the Labour Government for those people who, for some reason, had nor had a chance to enter any of the other universities, especially those above normal student age. It takes both men and women at the age of 21 and over. No formal academic qualifications are necessary for entry to these courses, but the standards of its degrees are the same as those of other universities.

       6. It is a non-residential university. In teaching the university uses a combination of television and radio. In teaching the university uses a combination of television and radio broadcasts, correspondence courses and summer schools, together with network of viewing and listening centres. Lecturers present their courses on one of the BBC's television channels and by radio. They have also produced a whole library of short course-books, which anyone can buy at bookshops.

7. Students write papers based on the courses and discuss them with tutors at meetings or by correspondence once a month. Degrees are awarded on the basis of credit gained by success at each stage of the course. Six credits are necessary for а В A degree and eight credits for а В A Honours degree. The time or staying on at the Open University is unlimited.
