1 a college where students study scientific and technical subjects
This is an ideal model for polytechnic and university teachers to imitate.
Many graduates of polytechnics, technical high schools and the like became consultant or government engineers.
In their former role as polytechnics, their teaching had been reviewed by a national body at regular intervals.
The conversion, in 1991, of the polytechnics into what are now known as 'new' universities changed all that.
Decisions on the funding of university and polytechnic libraries are for the institutions themselves, in consultation as necessary with the relevant funding council.
A competition was held between universities, polytechnics and other institutions to decide where it would be set up.
At this stage we should not be talking—or encouraging the universities and polytechnics to think—in terms of full-cost fees being paid by students through loans.
The polytechnic part of that system is regarded by most people as the second division, and that is unfair.
