Over the past few years, the value of studying humanities has received extensive criticism across the media and in parliament. The argument has remained largely the same: they fail to produce jobs, lack economic benefit and teach skills that will not be needed in the future. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the Conservative leadership race, education researchers and academic bodies began publicly reforming against this argument in the press \u2014 creating a diverse upsurge in debate across national and regional news.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the 1960s, humanities enrolment has dropped<\/a> from 28% to 8% across the country \u2013 though many experts cite this is a fear-driven change due to an \u2018age-old myth\u2019<\/a> that humanities graduates are unemployable. Since 2020<\/a>, national news has reported on the growing body of research into whether this claim is fact or fiction, as well as several op-eds from creatives and economic leaders.<\/p>\n
