Reform of applied and vocational qualifications for 14-19 year olds in England could trigger changes in the Isle of Man.
Intended for first teaching in September 2014 – the adjustments follow on from a review of vocational education undertaken by Professor Alison Wolf in 2011.
The Department for Education and Children (DEC) says the Island has alternative options to the proposals – which would mean a spring term public consultation on the way forward.
Paul Craine is the co-ordinating adviser for the DEC – he says we find ourselves in a unique position:
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
Panic over - Mcdonald's reopens at 11am tomorrow
Police say beat it to cars illegally parked during MJ tribute act
No dedicated prostate cancer screening programme, despite over 1,200 referrals
Minister says GP waiting times have improved, but delays still impact A&E
Crash closes section of the Mountain Road
Island's prison nears full capacity
