We're told by Labour that they want to help young people develop their skills outside the university environment, by encouraging those not in educational, employment or training (NEETs) to take up places in the more vocationally focussed Further Education (FE) sector; which is all well & good, but once again this expansion is not going to be fully funded.
FE has been under-funded for decades, so all they are storing up is more frustration for NEETs!
