Do you think colleges have the responsibility to tempt unqualified people back into school at a cost to the taxpayer?

'A college in Dorset is using the offer of a free iPod and £100 in cash to tempt teenagers to sign up for a summer course. he cost of the £170 iPods will be met by the taxpayer and could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds. In addition, those who embark on the 14-week course are paid £50 a week for one day a week of work experience, £100 cash when they finish the course, a further £100 payment if they enrol on a further full-time course at the college, free lunch vouchers and free travel if they live more than three miles away.
