SatNav Student

SatNav Student is a term used to describe a new generation of students entering universities in the United Kingdom who are believed to be improperly by the current A-level curriculum and teaching methods. The main criticisms are that SatNav students do not have "freedom to use their own minds," according to Francis O'Gorman, professor of English literature at the University of Leeds. The term is believed to have originated with Rosemary Bailey, professor of maths at Queen Mary, University of London, who stated Sitting a mathematics A-level paper is now more like using a satnav system than reading a map . Ohter sources include a report by the think-tank Reform.
