Abstract

The article presents information on 14-19 educational reform and training in Great Britain. The government commissioned an independent report on the future of this education, the Tomlinson Working Group which, in October 2004, recommended the establishment of a multi-level diploma system as a new framework for post-14 learning. this article we will argue that if the Tomlinson proposals are to spearhead a movement out of a medium participation system, then not only will they have to be accepted in full but also immediately reinforced by the creation of a more collaborative institutional framework and, in the longer term, by significant reform of the youth labour market and the role employers play in 14-19 education and training.
