The document discusses the key changes to the 14-19 curriculum in the UK, including increased entitlement and flexibility for students. By 2013, all students aged 14-16 will be entitled to study one of the first 14 diploma subjects, and those aged 16-18 will be entitled to study any of the 17 diploma subjects available. Apprenticeships will also be expanded, with a target of 400,000 places by 2020. A new foundation learning tier will provide flexible progression pathways for students working below level 2. These changes will have implications for teaching approaches, resources, and increased strain on teachers.
