'University is great but that’s not the only way you can succeed in life,' Rishi Sunak tells ShelaghFogarty
"We shouldn’t let young people down by sending them on a garden path that doesn’t deliver. We’re going to clamp down on those degrees," he added.
He also acknowledged that inflation was not coming down as fast as he would like during the interview with LBC."Inflation is prices going up and they are all going up faster than we would like. Critics argue the plans are a rehash of previous policy announcements and will make it harder for young people to pursue their aspirations.
Under the plans, ministers will ask England's universities regulator to limit the number of students universities can recruit on to courses seen to fail to deliver good outcomes for graduates. "With that information, students can make more informed choices and, at the same time, we're making it easier for them to find things like apprenticeships."
But, when repeatedly pressed, he refused to name any degrees that could be subject to recruitment limits.
