According to Gove, the current education system puts too much emphasis on academic achievement. Wolf is therefore reviewing the organisation and delivery of vocational education, and will look at how young people can be incentivised to choose vocational options in the future.
What are the main points? Wolf wants to see vocational education become more flexible so it can be more responsive to the evolving employment market.
