Roger is backing the Knowledge Economy and has signed Early Day Motion 413, Knowledge Economy, which calls for an increase in the proportion of national income we invest in colleges and universities.
He said: “Fair access to education and training throughout life is an essential basis for a strong economy and a healthy society”.
The cost of educational underachievement in the UK has been estimated by the Princes Trust at £22bn per generation, yet the UK spends less on education than many of its competitors.
