Student Mared Foulkes killed herself after being wrongly told she failed exam

[Anonymous No.14838414]

>A student killed herself after wrongly being told she had failed an exam and could not do her third year, a coroner has found.

>Mared Foulkes, 21, of Menai Bridge, Anglesey, was studying pharmacy at Cardiff University and had passed a re-sit of the assessment.

>But her results email on 8 July 2020 did not include the re-sit mark.

>Giving evidence to the inquest, her mother said: "Mared didn't say anything about her results on the day they arrived.

>"It was only afterwards that we looked at her phone and saw that she'd texted a friend to say 'I did crap'.

>"That evening, Mared said she was going to Tesco to get some things and asked if I needed anything. Then she closed the fridge door, got the car keys and left."

>She said students needed support and her daughter's actions were "a direct result of the university on that day".

>"Mared had a message saying she'd failed, then later we were told she hadn't failed.

>"To be informed that you can't progress, with no contact from the university, would have been awful for anyone, let alone a 21-year-old student.

They have collectivist societies where the whole is more important than the individual. Shame on the individual translates to shame for the family. A failure to succeed would mean that their parents have failed to produce a productive and useful member in their society, so self owning looks like a better option for a lot of them. Some people that aren't from those cultures place the same level of importance on their personal success. There's also the factor of putting 40+ hours a week into studying, and still not making the cut. Yeah, we can look at this rationally from an external standpoint and say that maybe it would have been smarter to pursue something else. When people are already burned out and feel terrible about their abilities, rationality isn't really on the table anymore.

You're not wrong, in Bongland our student debt is handled incredibly fairly, unless you're foreign, in which case you're the reason why the rest of the tuition fees can be so low. Tuition fees are normally around £9000 pounds a year, with no necessity to pay the loan back unless you make over £21k a year.

However, I have no idea what happens if you fail the course. And it's likely that she didn't either.

Listen, you can turn this shit into a dick measuring contest, or you can accept that your tuition fees are probably heavily subsidised by the government, because money doesn't come from fucking thin air. You pay less because you pay more somewhere else.

Admittedly, we currently have a problem with the upper-middle class (and above) scraping wealth off the top, because you can't commit embezzlement when you write the laws.

>>14838947
Sadly, student accommodation isn't free, you pay for that separately with a maintenance loan, which still has the same conditions as the tuition loan. Here is where you get fucked if you make too much money. If your parents make too much money, you don't get as high a maintenance loan. This would normally be okay, because most rich kids parents pay partially for their child to go to university, but some don't. This really fucks things up for the student, because then they need to work two part-time jobs to pay for accommodation and living expenses, and when it's your first real taste of true independence, that can be nearly impossible to manage.

No, Japan does not have a suicide issue, you dullard. At least, not a particular one compared to a nation like the US, which has the same suicide rate.

And why would we require that nannying? I mean if this nannying were the norm it would be convenient; but the flipside doesn't mean there is an issue, either.
Universities not being closed off from the outside world and instead being strewn throughout the city, interacting with the societal fabric quite like a bakery, and generally the less idealism-driven norms (precisely behind things like "but we need to care for ALL the students!"), is most likely the reason why continental European student culture is ridiculously less insular and radicalized than Anglo. Chew on that for a moment.

>"Free tuition" only ever helps the rich kids.
Yeah this is what I love about Europe. I moved from the US to Europe and it's awesome. In the US all my tax money went to blacks and poor hispanics, but in Europe all my tax money goes to white people shit like high culture, art & history preservation, and college tuition. As a white person I fucking love it here.

>This. >>14839772 I get my degree on my own terms and fully realize what it entails. Even if I fuck up, never is it worth my life fucking kek.
>I do mourn the dead though, she was probably sold the lie that the degree is everything and that mindset will lead to your demise. May she rest now.
Honestly if her college degree was worth so much to her she was probably just lining up to perpetuate the current bullshit system of power so we're honestly better off.
