What do you think of Edge's Six Steps to Change Manifesto?

1. Give young students experience of life skills and careers.
2. Replace all SATs with individual student profiles.
3. At 14 let students choose a pathway which matches their aspirations.
4. Ensure all vocational courses are taught in excellent facilities by teachers with relevant real world experience.
5. At 16 students can specialise further or change pathways.
6. Vocational degrees endorsed by employers.

  I object to the implication that school is not part of the real world. It is for most teachers and for most young people. The more we make schools a part of the real world the better educated our young people will be.
  It would also help to spell 'pathways' correctly on the main newsletter
