Sunak to force English universities to cap numbers of students on ‘low-value’ degrees

Exclusive: Move penalises courses with a high proportion of working-class or minority ethnic students, critics say

The Guardian

"Courses will be capped that do not have a high proportion of graduates getting a professional job, going into postgraduate study or starting a business"

From now on, philosophy, language, religion, politics, and culture will be exclusively the purview of the very rich.

For everyone else, college is where you will acquire specific skills that you will trade for wages on the capitalist market. Nothing else.
