The Working Group on 14-19 Reform, chaired by Mike Tomlinson, published its final report (indexed at TD/IRD 88.166) in October 2004. This white paper responds to the challenge issued in the report, i.e. how to fulfil the needs and aspirations of every young person. The white paper sets out proposals that are designed to redress the 'second best' standing of vocational education while protecting and enhancing the reputation of the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) and A levels. The proposals build on the strengths of the existing education system and are intended to: (1) ensure that every young person masters functional English and maths before they leave education; (2) improve vocational education; (3) stretch all young people and help universities to differentiate between the best candidates; (4) re-motivate disengaged learners; and (5) ensure delivery. The contents are: Executive summary; Introduction; The challenges we must overcome; Vision; A strong foundation at Key Stage 3; A strong core 14-19; Routes to success for all; A new system of diplomas; Strengthening GCSEs and A levels; Engaging all young people; Rigorous assessment in which all can have confidence; A system configured around young people; A sharp accountability framework, which makes sure that we offer the best to young people; Delivering the new 14-19 phase.

In this document we set out in detail how we will implement 14-19 Education and Skills [indexed TD/IRD 88.163] and how, in doing so, we will create a system capable of offering a new set of curriculum and qualifications opportunities, truly built around the needs and aspirations of each young person. Our aim is a system of 14-19 education matching the best anywhere; a system where all young people have opportunities to learn in ways which motivate and stretch them and through hard work qualify themselves for success in life; one where educational opportunity and chances in life do not depend on accident of birth, but are uniformly available to all young people. In our White Paper, 14-19 Education and Skills [indexed at TD/IRD 88.163], we set out our policy proposals for introducing the qualifications and curriculum changes that would be necessary to create that system. Since then, our Green Paper, Youth Matters, and our White Paper, Higher Standards, Better Schools for All, have set out how services for young people and the schools system will be reformed to achieve the same ends; and our White Paper, Getting on in Business, Getting on at Work [TD/IRD 88.162], has set out plans for continuing skills development for adults.
