Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the Government’s commitment not to impose a cap on the number of students that can access post-18 education applies to all forms of post-18 education.

We have no intention to re-introduce a cap on the number of students accessing post-18 education. We want our education system to provide opportunities for everybody to improve their position in life. That is why we abolished the pre-existing cap on higher education student numbers and reduced barriers to entry. Record numbers of disadvantaged students are now going to university.
