“The New Conservatives” want to stop your aspirations of a university education and basically force you to become careers!. Being a career is a much needed job, but maybe not an aspirational one? Or fruit and vegetable pickers! The next logical step would be to save money on education by replacing GCSE’s and A level’s with a lowering of the leaving age for children (14 anyone?). Only Public Schools would be allowed to offer qualifications leading to Universities. I totally agree that education shoulkd fit the needs of society as well as that of the individual. That would require proper renumeration for practical skills, along with a societal adjustment of the regard we have for electricians and plumbers, etc.
