TUC document, Bleak prospects for non-university youngsters

The TUC used the publication of A-level results last month to highlight the plight of students missing out on higher education.

With too few apprenticeships going to young people and one in five under 25s out of work, the prospects for too many youngsters leaving school were bleak.
