Abstract

Upper secondary education in England has become a major policy priority for government because there has not been significant growth in post-compulsory education participation rates since the mid-1990s, and the government fears that this puts the country at a disadvantage when compared internationally (DIUS, 2007). At the same time, reforming the upper secondary phase is proving to be difficult. This chapter describes the current upper secondary system in England, outlines the government’s approach to reform and suggests an alternative way forward.
