Reporter Hugh Prysor Jones

Alan Young comes from Bedlington near Newcastle. His father was a miner, his mother works at the local hospital. Alan is one of Oxford's brightest mathematicians. But will there be any more like him?

The Government plans a revolution in the universities, with more students doing what industry wants. In future, employers, parents and students themselves must pay.

Hugh Prysor Jones puts the Government's radical plans to the test.
