    “I’ve maintained for a long time that the reason we don’t grow our economy more quickly is the shortage of skilled labour. The quicker we get back to things like apprenticeships, the better,” said Mr Connell.

    “The sooner we start telling our kids that not all of them will be university graduates, the better.”
