The problem:
Facilities and teaching for vocational subjects in the UK lag
behind global standards. If we want to be a world-leading economy
with world-leading skills, we have to fix this.
The solution:
Lobby for more government funds to be poured into creating
high-quality vocational education facilities and training
vocational teachers. Demand that pay for FE teachers should be at
the same level as for secondary school teachers and that school
buildings should be redesigned to reflect the needs of vocational
as well as academic students.
