Yet more changes to UK secondary education

The Schools Secretary, Ed Balls has announced further expansion of the vocational diploma scheme to become ‘the qualification of choice’ for young people. He announced three new diplomas bringing the number up to 17 but didn’t give any assurances that A levels and GCSEs would survive the review of exam courses scheduled for 2013.
