Unis warned over access

In a report published this morning, the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats will also recommend that schools should start encouraging children to apply for university when they are as young as 10. Mr Hughes told Today that talk about high student fees and debt was “misleading” and “off-putting” and he called for greater emphasis on the costs and benefits of higher education.
