Schools to Offer Technical Subjects from Age 14 in England, Burnham Says The latest announcement from Prime Minister Andy Burnham promises to put technical education at the heart of England's curriculum, offering pupils a chance to combine core subjects with vocational training from age 14.
This move aims to address the long standing issue of youth unemployment in the UK.
The government's plans are based on the notion that technical education will provide young people with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly complex and automated job market.
