'the latest' is the definition.

'government u-turns on university education primarily' is the wordplay.
'government' becomes 'g' (abbreviation for government).
'u turns' becomes 'vo' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'primarily' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'university education' is 'ue'.
'g' after 'vo' is 'vog'.
'vog'+'ue'='VOGUE'
