Abstract

The reform of 16+ education has been discussed for a decade. Agreement about its future profile has still to be achieved. Yet the urgency of taking a decision about it can hardly be challenged. Any proposed new system will take five to ten years to implement. In the interim the quality of the human resources needed by the UK for the next three decades to contribute to the standard of life and to strengthen democratic and social institutions depends largely on the tertiary system of education. And the present arrangements are unsatisfactory. Objectives and the methods of meeting them are seriously misconceived, muddled and costly.
