The Left Winger on LBC has stated the Youths are not able to work as they have not learnt the right data. [The study conducted by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) has recommended that the education system in England be radically changed so that students can thrive in a work environment that is becoming increasingly shaped by automation and artificial intelligence. The current educational landscape in England relies too heavily on passive forms of learning focused on direct instruction and memorising and needs more emphasis on the so-called four Cs – critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaborative problem-solving, the organisation said.] [Recommending replacing the exams system with new qualifications that involve regular assessment between 16 and 18 years old, the report suggested that a series of low-stakes assessments for pupils at the end of secondary schooling could “help inform pupil choice and hold schools to account”. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Sir Tony Blair said of the current system: “While there is a place for these sorts of exams, we cannot rely on them alone: they only measure certain skills, they do not always do this accurately, and they invite narrow teaching styles aimed at passing tests rather than building other key aptitudes.] Yes Teach them Economics the blighters can use.

I did three A Levels: English Lit (A), Law (B) and Sociology (B).
Never needed them. All the jobs I've had never needed those sort of qualifications. |
