A Curriculum for the 21st Century
The case for change (1)
The world is changing:
– Fewer low skilled jobs (5m fewer by 2020)
– 40% of all jobs in 2020 will require a graduate qualification
– Global competition will be even more intense
– Today’s students will have 10-14 jobs by age 38
The case for change (2)
The law is changing:
• Education and Inspections Act 2006 Introduces the statutory Diploma entitlement from 2013
• Education and Skills Act 2008Raises the participation age to 17 from 2013 and 18 from 2015
The case for change (3)
Expectations are changing:
• Change needed to deliver further school improvement (e.g. improve engagement)
• Change needed to narrow the gap (e.g. white British FSM)
• Change needed to deliver our 16-19 commissioning priorities (e.g. L2 achievement by 19)
The new range of 14-19 pathways
5 main pathways from 2013:
• GCSEs & A levels – general qualifications
• The Diplomas – applied qualifications
• Apprenticeships – vocational qualifications
• Foundation Learning pathways
• Employment with accredited training
General qualifications
• GCSEs and A levels to remain central to the 14-19 curriculum
• What constitutes “success” at GCSE and A level?
• Can they deliver the employability skills of the future?
• Can they provide progression for all up to 18?
The Diploma• 8 Diploma lines available at
KS4 in Camden from September 2010 - schools provide access to the entitlement
• Limited post-16 offer in Camden at present
• Comprise principal learning, PLTS, FS, ASL & project
• Future of BTECs still not clear (but increasingly secure)
Apprenticeships
• Apprenticeships to become a mainstream post-16 option
• DCSF target – 1 in 5 young people take an Apprenticeship by 2020
• Increase in Apprenticeship opportunities from 2010
• Young Apprenticeships to continue at KS4
Foundation Learning
FL comprises 3 components:
• Functional Skills (FS)
• Personal & Social Development (PSD)
• A Vocational Qualification (VQ)
FS

Rethinking 14-19
• Rethinking transition – how to we manage transition from KS3 to KS4? Is the term “options” helpful? Are guided pathways more appropriate?
• Rethinking CEIAG – how do we support young people and their parents / carers to make informed decisions? Is Year 9 too late?
• Rethinking curriculum design – is a stage, not age 14-19 curriculum more appropriate to address RPA?
• Rethinking collaboration and partnerships – what structures are necessary to deliver a broad range of 14-19 Pathways?
