A major survey in England shows a record proportion of the public now believe university is not worth the time and cost. The share reaches 34% last year, which is reported as the highest level recorded in the survey’s series. The report says this figure is more than double compared with levels from about two decades ago, indicating a substantial shift in public opinion over time. The sources frame the change as growing scepticism about the value of university for potential students, with the largest cited metric being the proportion of people who say university is no longer “worth it.” The articles do not provide further breakdowns of the reasons behind the views, nor do they specify whether the change is linked to specific economic factors such as tuition costs, graduate earnings, or employment outcomes. Overall, all available information centers on the survey result and its comparison to earlier years, highlighting a widening gap between previous public sentiment and current attitudes.
