Lecturers want all their students to get a job

I strongly disagree with Clare Phizacklea's comments (Letters, 16 August). I am a college lecturer for the Diploma in Nursery Nursing and have just finished teaching the 'Nursery nurse in employment' module last term. The CACHE syllabus for this unit covers ALL types of settings and the assignment has students focus on one setting of their choice for the written task.

While teaching the second year students on this module I spent several lessons focusing on private day nurseries. I recounted my own experiences as a nursery nurse in several such settings. I consider that I presented an unbiased view, and as many of my students went on to accept posts in such establishments I assume that I didn't discourage them in any way.
