Private colleges whistleblower: 'students didn't know how to use a mouse' - video - Shiv Malik, Andrew McGettigan, John Domokos, Friday 30 May 2014 The Guardian
A Guardian investigation into private colleges has uncovered allegations
of lax admissions policies, chaotic timetabling and violence in the
classroom at Britain's largest chain of for-profit colleges, the London
School of Business and Finance (LSBF). A former lecturer with the group
alleges that the fast growth of the company's student body brought in
tuition fees, but standards were allowed to slip. LSBF denies these
allegations. The investigation shows how agents working on commission
were tasked with recruiting students from the streets – often outside
job centres
