Description

Anthony Crosland, a Labour Party politician, gave a speech in 1965 addressing his concerns over the gaping divide between our post school systems - academic education on the one hand, and further education and vocational training on the other. He warned that Britain would not survive if we were to downgrade the non-university technical and professional sector, and that we needed to move away from our snobbish, caste-ridden, hierarchical obsession with university status.
Last month, Vince Cable gave a detailed account of the current state of our post-school training system and how we again need to close the gap that Anthony Crosland set out to do over half a century ago.
