The higher education system is producing degrees in “Harry Potter studies” and universities are feeding students “anti-British history and sociological Marxism”, making a “spring clean of low-quality courses” essential, according to the minister responsible for higher education.
Andrea Jenkyns, the skills minister, made the comments at a Conservative conference fringe event on “Getting Brexit done to turn the economy around”, hosted by the anti-European Union Bruges Group thinktank.
University courses were offering “critical race theory, anti-British history and sociological Marxism”, the minister claimed.
