Description
Liz Lightfoot talks to the minister for higher education about his own experience of applying to university. As he prepares the official response to this year’s A-level results, David Lammy can clearly recall the emotions and tension of the run-up to his own day of reckoning. It was the summer of 1990, and he was holding an offer to study law at one of the country’s leading universities, and it all rested on his grades for English, history and religious studies.
