Age: 53
Andrew Rosindell’s opinion on our subject matter ‘Is University the only
pathway’:
In his view, university has been so far, and still is, the dominating pathway to a
qualification but he emphasised that today our economy is in need of a new,
more practically rather than academically skilled, workforce. In the past few years
an increasing number of students have been orientated and encouraged to aim
for ‘behind the desk’ professions that require a university degree but, he believes,
we need to take a step back and re-establish the status of the more traditional
labours and the only way we can do that is via apprenticeship, and other
appropriate vocational studies. As a politician and a conservative, he disagrees
with our old government’s ideal that at least 50% of students should attend
university.
