Side-Effects of Margaret Thatcher's Cuts on Higher Education: A Study of David Lodge's University Trilogy
Journal Title: Journal of Sustainable Development in Social and Environmental Sciences - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This essay focuses primarily on the negative impacts of Thatcher's cuts on British higher education in the second half of the 20th century. As a result of England's anxiety, despondency, and general instability, many social diseases became more prominent. The theoretical section of this study is focused with introducing the author, who is unfamiliar to Arabs. It also shows the most prevalent ideologies in England throughout this century and their effects on both students, youth, and academics. The importance of feminism, tolerance for children and students, the failure of multiculturalism due to the marginalization of ethnic groups and immigrants, the value of publishing papers, articles, and books, and the poor design and construction of university buildings are all stressed in the second part, which is an applied study of David Lodge's university trilogy. The research's conclusion findings include some of the following: Lodge emphasizes the relationship between the academic and outer worlds but is not overly cynical in his critique of the institution and academics; mistreatment of students is missing; and, finally, he attacks current literary ideas like structuralism and modernism with great severity. As a result, academics, students, and administration are helped to improve and modify the educational process and work toward sustainable development.
