‘discriminate and resist’
Why not media studies? “I am afraid that the interests of our children are not served either by some of the examination boards…They’d give us Chaucer with chips, Milton with mayonnaise. Mr Chairman, I want William Shakespeare in our classroom, not Ronald McDonald.” Education Secretary John Patten speaking at the Conservative Party Conference, 1992 “I’d be far more interested in seeing someone with a Law degree. […] As far as I know I’ve never interviewed anyone with a Media Studies degree.” Veronica Wadley, Editor, The London Evening Standard: “We could always name two A-Levels we would rather have. [The skills developed by Media Studies] are not relevant to the sort of courses we offer.” Dr Geoff Parks, director of admissions, Cambridge University: ‘discriminate and resist’
