MORE than a fifth of school leavers are turning their backs on university and aiming for jobs that don’t need a degree instead.
As a result of the pandemic and the impact this had on education, 40 per cent have been rethinking their future plans. And more than two thirds would have to work at the same time as studying if they did go onto further education. Samsung commissioned the research to launch its ‘Solve for Tomorrow’ programme, an alternative educational experience that is allowing young people to remain in control of their futures in a time when it may be feeling quite uncertain.
“We hope that ‘Solve for Tomorrow’ can offer them a range of learning experiences that will help to unlock their creativity, develop new skills and explore the role of technology in solving some of today’s most pressing social issues.”
Roughly 50% of youths in UK go on to University and 20% go into jobs without degrees. What do the other 30% do?
And with the Chinese not going to UK for university....That means many will have to close...
