Sir Keir Starmer has said Labour will scrap the current university target and replace it with a new one for two-thirds of young people to go to university or do a “gold standard apprenticeship”.

The Prime Minister told the Labour party conference that he will introduce a new target for two-thirds of people to either go to university, further education or do a gold standard apprenticeship by the age of 25.
