I hope the Government will work with us to change an education system too focused on the university route and excluding far too many young people from school.
We need two equal routes at 14 - one academic, one technical - and our #MBacc achieves that. 🙌🏻

"Lasting growth depends on new ideas, innovation and technological progress"

Disappointing lack of analysis of root causes of erosion of UK innovation capacity though
