Education Secretary tells Andy Burnham his Manchester Baccalaureate plan won't happen
Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham was in bullish mood yesterday as he described his plans for a 'Manchester Baccalaureate' to create a clearer path for young people who don't want to go to university.
The DfE has already said the new alternative route would ‘narrow opportunities available to young people’ and speaking on The Northern Agenda podcast Ms Keegan said it was important to "have some national standards and national qualifications that are equally understood". "What we're trying to do is make sure every school is good or outstanding. Every child has a broad range of things that they study up to the age of 16. And then it can narrow, and then it can be more vocational or technical in its nature.
"So you can't just come up with some anecdotal stuff, there's evidence, which is leading us to set the curriculum with a lot of broad choice, but in the way that we guide the core subjects that we want everybody to at least do up to the age of 16." English and maths would still be a requirement of the MBacc – as it is within the EBacc – but so would computer science or ICT. Other options would include engineering, art, drama and music, and the sciences.
