The number of 11 to 16-year-olds who say they want to go to university has dropped to its lowest level, polling has found.
Some 74 per cent of young people thought they were very or fairly likely to go into higher education in 2017, according to a poll of 3,000 people published on 10 August by the Sutton Trust, a charity that promotes social mobility through higher education.
