That's largely NL's fault, after spending the last decade loudly trumpeting (a) their 50% target, and (b) how great a job they were doing investing in education and hitting targets. They did a fantastic job of giving the *impression* that student numbers were ballooning, so to now complain that people are left with that impression is rather comical.
Given that I suspect none of us are particularly avid Daily Mail readers, however, it's probably a little unproductive to argue against them.
The fundamental problem appears to be that, for the current student levels, there isn't enough money to go around. There's only really two directions you can take to address that - more money, or less students. And last time I checked the figures, we're not exactly looking for ways to spend money.
