Well they cannot have it all ways, under current rules according to what this Govt has brought in as additional to what Labour did up to 2010.

Anyone unemployed on jobseekers, has to regularly go to the jobcentre, has to prove they are actively looking for work, with the jobcentre having the option of checking the info out too.
If they cannot get a job then having to do some further education means they will have far less time to fulfil the things above as to actively looking for work.

If they go into some education again, then surely that will add to the Govts welfare bill, with at least part or all the costs of the courses having to be met.
Also if unemployed there must also surely be the likelihood of claiming of some or all exepenses.

Get the jobs created, then penalise people who will not take a job, stop companies reducing workers hours by 1 or 2 a week to pay less but keeping them in work.
Create real jobs, full time jobs, not part time jobs as is the case now.
That is the duty of Govt, then when you have the list of vacancies far more in proportion to those unemployed,then you can start to dicate like this. not before.
