We draw on current and earlier research on the unification of academic and vocational learning in England, Scotland and other European countries in order to suggest areas for mutual learning to inform future curriculum and qualifications reform north and south of the Border. We highlight five of these - the conduct of the policy process, issues of progression, assessment, approaches to vocational education and key/core skills. In our conclusion we speculate on the possibility of either convergence or divergence of the English and Scottish upper secondary education systems as both evolve. date: 2004 date_type: published oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Education and Work volume: 17 number: 4 pagerange: 441-465 pages: 25 refereed: TRUE issn: 1363-9080 citation: Tinklin, Teresa; Hodgson, Ann; Howieson, Cathy; Raffe, David; Spours, Ken; Tinklin, Teresa; (2004) Post-16 Curriculum and Qualifications Reform in England and Scotland: lessons from home international comparisons.
