"There has been an argument in Government about how to get the right careers advice in schools and successive governments have frankly messed this up," he said.
"We haven't got this right. But the underlying problem is of course that most teachers, particularly in the secondary sector, are graduates.
"They know how universities work, they know what you have to do to get an A-level, they know about UCAS forms - but they know absolutely nothing about the world of work."
