Rishi Sunak is considering a major reform of A-levels in England which could see the introduction of a new “British baccalaureate”.
The prime minister’s plans could include the compulsory study of maths and English up to the age of 18, according to newspaper reports.
The shake-up of A-levels would be controversial - but no final decision has been taken.
Labour said the proposals were an “undeliverable gimmick”.
Or he could throw some money into our schools so they can be educated better in the earlier years. They have been reducing budgets since coming to power. Will he be adding extra into school budgets to pay for this, and has it been researched as a viable option?
That all sounds far too sensible - he’s not putting out fires, he’s fiddling as Rome burns.
