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:
Island animal charity appeals for help after relentless bad weather
Further appeal for witnesses following incident in Ramsey
Speed restrictions planned for the coast road next week
Hundreds paid by cheque after MiCard scheme scrapped
No drone zone on Tynwald Day
Last orders at the bar as ‘Spoons puts counter up for sale
Liverpool Ferry Terminal has cost over '£100 million'
