The problem:
SATs only give a narrow picture of a young person's skills and
do not represent their wider talents. This means they're of limited
use when deciding post-14 educational pathways.
The solution:
Replace SATs with an individual profile of attainment, life
skills and interests that can be used to monitor the student's
progress through school. This will be used by students, parents and
teachers to choose a post-14 pathway.
