Changes need to start at post 14. The German or Dutch models should be adopted instead some very odd desire to return to the Victorian times.
It will take real balls to make the changes really needed to re-skill future generations and I'm not sure that the current mob have them.
Until they get rid of the pathetic league tables, which are no more than a giant con and encourage rote teaching of core topics only, and start to value the trades and engineering, on a par with genuine academic success, then things won't change.
