The issue starts at 13/14 where kids are narrowed into ‘options’ but actually don’t really get much choice. Most schools force them to pick a Hums subject and a language to meet a nonsense EBACC target. Vocational courses for students either don’t exist, or if they do places are minimal. So many kids set up to fail by doing qualifications they don’t want to do. And then it snowballs further at 16.
