14-19 Reform

Key areas of the reform include:
- new Diplomas being developed by employer that will provide alternative learning styles and progression into higher education and skilled employment
- a strengthening of A levels, GCSEs and Key Stage 3
- the development of IT systems to support the aggregation of data between appropriate stakeholders, and to enable the awarding of the Diploma as a composite qualification.
