- Summary:
- The government has pledged to raise the school leaving age to 18. It's introducing a new set of vocation-friendly diplomas at GCSE and encouraging schools to rely more heavily on Formative Assessment. It sounds like elements of the vision for 14-19 education proposed by Mike Tomlinson in his landmark report of two years ago. At the time Tomlinson provoked a storm of controversy among employers, parents and universities, who feared for standards. Now many seem to approve. So was Tomlinson right?
