Brown urged to scrap A-levels
Updated on 09 August 2007
Gordon Brown has been urged to scrap A-levels in favour of a qualification combining vocational and academic elements.
Former chief schools inspector Sir Mike Tomlinson, who proposed a similar baccalaureate system in a 2004 review, said there was a new "willingness" in Government to look at the issue.
Sir Mike said the Government's 14-19 diploma, focusing on vocational skills, "enhanced" the division between academic and non-academic qualifications.
