Our post-18 education system will never reach its full potential in terms of driving growth and productivity if full-time university degrees continue to be placed on a pedestal above other qualifications and pathways. Read our new report here: bit.ly/3LzFzal

Despite all the newspaper headlines about university finances, the Government should focus on building an integrated HE, FE and apprenticeship system so that learners of all ages can find the right pathway for them. Read a summary of our new report here: bit.ly/3LzFzal

Great to see the issue of pre-application supervisor contact being highlighted as contributing to inequalities in doctoral admissions. We also found this in the Close the Gap project at Oxford and Cambridge and are trying to find sensible solutions at the moment.

More Mickey Mouse degree culture wars nonsense from the Tories. As usual they are unable to actually name specific degrees and can only define them in terms of outcomes and drop out rates. The problem is that apprenticeships have a far higher drop out rate than any degree program

'What are the sort of degrees you could seek to halt?' 'That's not for me to say...' 'I think my listeners would like some examples.' Schools minister Damian Hinds says that he would ban 'Mickey Mouse degrees', but won't say what those degrees are. @NickFerrariLBC
