• Range of Curriculum Initiatives

• Learning, Employment and Skills 14 - 24 Strategy

• Structural change to Educational System

“Ambition For All” CBI 2012• “The best systems and schools have a clear idea of

the achievement – academic and personal – they should foster in students. This forms a guardrail that keeps them on track.”

• “Development of a clear, widely-owned and stable statement of the outcome that all schools are asked to deliver. This should go beyond the merely academic, into the behaviours and attitudes schools should foster in everything they do. It should be the basis on which we judge all new policy ideas, schools, and the structures we set up to monitor them”

“The other thing is that we’ve got to stop talking about people making the “wrong choice”. Life choices are never absolutely right or wrong, they just are. You can think about them before you make them, you can learn from them after you have made them – but there isn’t much point in deciding that they were wrong. No amount of career guidance or career learning is going to stop people making choices that they regret or that don’t turn out right. But preparing people to manage their own careers will enable them to pick themselves up, live with their choice and move on from it.” Dr Tristram Hooley University of Derby
