Should The Education System Change?

from Talkback with Petrie Hosken

Andy Burnham has announced a major shift in England's school curriculum aimed at making technical and vocational education as valued as traditional university routes. Rolling out in September 2028, the plan allows 14-year-olds to blend core GCSEs with regional technical training, work experience, and local industry projects. Local mayors and employers will tailor courses to address regional skill shortages, including green energy and construction. But what do young people want from education? Founder of youth employment charity, Breakout, Roman Dibden gives his experiences and professional opinion on what's needed for the youth of the country. You then explain what differences that you would like to see in the education system. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
