Believe me, he's knows exactly what he is doing.....an ideology is being implemented....
Theres a lot of Ideology Implemented under the guise of economic downturn .But then theres Education along with Health being used as a political football for the last 40 yrs,and it has'nt helped the Country ,the Kids ,the Business world and more importantly the Teachers , forever moving the goalposts and devaluing the Profession . I'm not sure he's wrong as such in that all kids can't go to University though Laudible and Desirable, CSE's were proven to still give sound education to the likes of me in the 70's for Manufacturing, Manual Construction, and Engeneering type careers,plenty of post School opporotunities to gain decent further qualification to garner the skills for each path chosen .This may come over as age related but i did get the impression as my kids went through the system they were basically coached to pass rather than taught ,then add in the restricted ultra concentrated curriculum
I could go on forever so one last thing ,My Daughters Degree course involves less hours than My BTEC.
