People in their sixties should go to university to retrain because they will be expected to work
for longer before retirement，the Government has suggested.
Older workers who take courses to keep their skills up to date will be more likely to keep
their jobs，claims David Willetts，the higher education said the age limit on student
loans to cover tuition fees had been lifted，making a degree course “great value”for older
comments followed a government report which found that the country's future
economic success would depend on the skills and contributions of older workers.
One in four people will be older than 65 by 2033 and economists have warned that the ageing
population will place a heavy burden on taxpayers unless more people work for longer. The state
pension age is to rise to 67 by ers have warned that they have no idea when younger
workers in their thirties will be able to retire.
Mr Willetts，who is accompanying David Cameron in India，urged workers older than 60 to
give further education serious consideration.“There is certainly a pressure for continuing to get
retrained and upskilled，”he said.“Higher education has an economic benefit in that if you stay
up to date with knowledge and skills you will be more employable.”
Mr Willetts said a university course had“wider”benefits，making people more likely to lead
healthy lives.“Education is such a good thing that it is not reserved for only younger
people，”he said.“There will be people of all ages who will want to is great value in
lifelong learning.”Under previous rules，students in England would get a loan to cover tuition
fees only if they were younger than 54.
Latest figures showed that only 1,940 undergraduates starting courses last year were older
than 60，out of a total of 552,240 students in 6,455 were aged between 50 and 60，
according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

faithfully keeps every appointment and deals with every piece of work when it has to be attended
to.
4 If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time，he keeps all
the other guests waiting for y this will be regarded as rude both to the host and the
