Every adult will be given access to a flexible loan to pay for higher-level education under plans announced today by Boris Johnson as part of a new 'Lifetime Skills Guarantee'.
Mr Johnson said new education laws set out in the Queen's Speech will provide 'rocket fuel' to the nation's recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
The PM hopes the guarantee will enable people to gain the skills they need to secure well-paid jobs and to access training throughout the course of their lives.
The so-called Lifelong Loan Entitlement to pay for education and training at university or college will be available to people at any point.
