New polling suggests the government could struggle to convince older workers and people outside of London to take out a student loan for lifelong learning tuition costs.
Over 2,000 adults were surveyed by Public First last month for their views on lifelong learning and their expectations of who should pay for it, in a poll about the upcoming lifelong learning entitlement (LLE).
This comes as the government stands by its commitment to deliver the LLE from 2025, despite the DfE’s most senior civil servant warning of “significant challenges” meeting the timescale.
However, meeting the launch date may be the least of the government’s concerns.
