All Our Futures: Britain’s Educational Revolution: A Disaster of Epic Proportions?

Synopsis

Professor Alan Smithers and the Centre for Educational and Employment Research at Manchester University evaluate the new GNVQs and NVQs and compare them with existing qualifications and equivalent European courses. Smithers claims that the system is fundamentally flawed and believes that vocational training in Britain is so sub-standard that British plumbers, electicians and builders will end up being ‘the cowboys of Europe’.
