This is from the BBC Teletext service today ...
"There has been a big fall in the number of workers starting apprenticeships since the introduction of the governmentââ¬â¢s apprenticeship levy earlier this year.
The levy was supposed to increase the number of people training at work.
But according to Department for Education figures, in the last three months of the 2017 academic year, 48,000 people began an apprenticeship.
That compared with 117,000 for the same period last year."
This is a drop of nearly 60%!
I swear, this government would throw a drowning man an anchor and then announce that they had attempted to save him!
