Speaking to The Times, Saxton explained that calls to UCAS have dropped by a third since 2019. “That is how difficult teenagers these days can find how to make a phone call,” she told the publication.
It seems quite practical to run mock phone interviews with them, then.
In the same Times article, James Johnstone, head teacher at Bacup & Rawtenstall Grammar School, said the phone call course his school devised also taught students how to hold a university interview, manage student loans, advocate for their rights as tenants, and cook healthy meals.
In that light, the programme seems like what that same writer eventually concedes it is: a sensible way to manage what she admits is a growing trend, and a good way to prepare students for that dreaded “real world” generally.
So why not make part of what is an often-stressful time for any young person (this, after all, is training to secure post-A-Level courses) a little easier and admit that, honestly, most of us could stand a refresher on how to talk to one another a little better?
If the undefined number of schools suspected of running these schemes want to continue to do hold phone call workshops, I say: hey, good for you (however many and wherever you may be).
