Students from the Glasgow School of Art, currently located at one of the typical architectural projects of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, have expressed their dissatisfaction with the quality of education they are getting.
The chief complaint of students is that some of them have invested up to twenty thousand pounds in their courses; however, there are not enough tutors and classes take place in numerous locations around the city, some of them without heating.
Considering the severe financial investment these students made, it is unacceptable for them to study in such conditions. The leading cause for this situation were two recent fires that happened in the central building of the school, which forced the administration to disperse classes to alternative locations.
Art programs in the United Kingdom
The Glasgow School of Art is considered one of the top ten art schools around the world; however, the recent fires have made it hard for the administration to figure out how to continue providing quality education.
Unfortunately, creative programs in the United Kingdom are sometimes left behind when it comes to funding. One of the recent examples of underfunding are music classes in Wales, as parents were forced to buy materials and instruments for their children.
Hopefully, the university will find a way to resolve the problems, as students continue to invest in their education with the institution. The university attracts many international students, who relocate with one purpose – to get quality education overseas. Considering the commitment on the part of the students, the administration has to do their best to resolve any issues with the educational process.
