Abstract

The recent White Paper, The Future of Higher Education, and the annual increase in the number of young people achieving passes at A-level (the final secondary-school examinations) have fuelled an ongoing debate on whether too many people are now entering higher education in the UK. At the centre of the ‘too many graduates’ argument is the issue of employability: is the nation producing enough graduates to meet the needs of the knowledge economy or is there an abundance of graduates in the workplace who do not need degrees to do their jobs? This article identifies key arguments in the increasing participation and employability debate.
