flag Keir Starmer drops Labour’s 50% university target, replacing it with a goal for two-thirds of youth to enter higher education or apprenticeships, backed by £800M in funding.

flag Prime Minister Keir Starmer has scrapped Labour’s 50% university entry target, calling it outdated, and replaced it with a new goal: ensuring two-thirds of young people pursue either higher education or high-quality apprenticeships. flag Announced at the Labour Party conference on September 30, 2025, the shift includes £800 million in new funding for 14 technical colleges, a unified funding model for level 4–6 qualifications, and improved access to student finance through the Lifelong Learning Entitlement. flag The reforms aim to align education with economic needs, boost vocational training, and strengthen collaboration between further and higher education under the Office for Students.
