  • 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.

      One of the major questions emerging from this discussion:
      How do we make practical and vocational qualifications vibrant and appealing for young people?

      If Edge's 6 steps were adopted in their current state, would they make this goal a reality?
      Or do they need to be tweaked?

      There's been some outstanding ideas coming out of this discussion, so let's keep things moving!
