The King Edward VI Foundation, Birmingham, has welcomed the Government’s plans to strengthen technical education and expand opportunities for young people from an earlier age.
Commenting on the announcement, Julie Waddington, Director of Education at the Foundation said:
“Education should open doors, broaden horizons and help young people discover who they can become. At the King Edward VI Foundation, we want every student to leave us with the confidence, skills and ambition to succeed on the pathway that is right for them.
"We therefore welcome the Prime Minister’s announcement to strengthen technical education and expand opportunities for young people from an earlier age. Academic and technical pathways both play a vital role in unlocking potential, and we look forward to helping more young people in our schools find the route that inspires them to thrive.”
At King Edward VI Foundation, we believe there is no single route to success. By supporting both academic excellence and high-quality technical education, we can help ensure that every young person has the opportunity to develop their talents, pursue their ambitions and make a meaningful contribution to society.
We look forward to working with partners across the education sector to help deliver a future in which all young people can access the learning and skills they need to flourish.
