Rishi Sunak is reportedly preparing to unveil proposals to cap the number of students pursuing “low-value” university degrees, according to reports in The Guardian. The measures would restrict applications for courses that have a lower proportion of graduates entering professional careers, pursuing advanced studies, or starting their own businesses. If implemented, this policy would mark the first time since 2015 that student applications in England would be subject to a cap.

The announcement of these plans is expected to be made as early as Monday, as reported by The Guardian.
