The Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove, has asked Professor Alison Wolf to consider how we can improve vocational education for 14 19 year olds to support participation and progression. This is the Edge Foundation's submission to Professor Wolf.
We think vocational and practical education should be valued just as highly as academic choices. We believe that practical learning should be part of every young person's education. We want improved educational facilities, better careers guidance for young people, increased employer engagement at all levels, and an overhaul of teacher training, particularly in practical and vocational subjects.
