Unit 01 School life Clip 1 Healthy eating

Woman 1: The schools are doing it because they’ve got to promote healthy eating and I think it’s the right message. But I think really they should target the parents beforehand, because I think it’s quite sad for the children to have things in there and then to take them away.

Woman 2: I think it’s a good idea. I think children should eat healthy while they’re at school. Treats should be at weekends or after school.

Man 1: So what is allowed in children’s lunch bags? Well, here I have an array of food. Good and bad.

Man 2: Sandwiches, pasta, fruit and nuts are fine. Sweets, crisps, fizzy drinks and chocolate though are set to be taken away.

Voice-over: The building work continues but for how much longer? They’re ready to start a second phase of refurbishment here, but the college may have to send the builders home.

Woman 1: We’ve just come up onto the roof of the old building and as you can see there, that is the new building we’ve been working on for two years and we’re just about to move into the refurbishment of this great two-lifted building.

Voice-over: The principal of South Thames College told me what would happen of she doesn’t get the money for the new building project.

Woman 1: I will have already committed six and a half to eight million pounds that will then be the College’s debt. And this building would no longer work because the services would be cut off and this will have to be muffled.

Voice-over: From hair dressing to forensic science—over 20,000 students and adult learners come here. Some classes are in the old listed building. But the basement floods and the heating breaks down and that’s why they wanted to give it a refurb.

Voice-over: University fees paid by these students are capped at around 3.000 pounds a year. But the government is due to review the situation and the body representing the bosses of England’s universities has a suggestion, to increase fees to 5,000 or even 7,000 pounds a year.

Woman 1: We have a world-class reputation that needs to be maintained. Students, I think quite rightly, expect a very high-quality higher education. And that has to be paid for.

Woman 2: Today’s second-year students will leave university with debts of more than 17,000 pounds on average. Under one of the schemes being discussed today, that amount will increase to more than 26,000 pounds, a sum that could take quite a few years to pay off. The question is, would this increase actually put young people off from applying to university in the first place.

Man 1: Potentially yes. Yes, I would have to assess my personal situation at that time. But I think it will put a lot of people off as it’s a huge amount of money.

Woman 3: I’m doing a history degree so I have about eight hours of contact a week. So as for my money being wasted, whereas medical students have lots of labs and lots of money on them, so I think it would kind of cause me to think twice about going to university and which university I go to and where.

Man 2: Well I think it is breathtakingly arrogant of university vice chancellors to be talking about doubling the level of tuition fees and the level of graduate debt in the middle of a recession. I think they need to get out of their ivory tower to look at what is going on with the economy now. Students are in increasing hardship already and leaving tens of thousand of people graduating with even bigger amounts of debts is reckless and irresponsible.
