The document discusses the reforms being made to the 14-19 curriculum in the UK. Key changes include raising the minimum school leaving age to 18 by 2015, revising GCSEs and introducing new diploma qualifications and apprenticeship programs. The goals of the reforms are to address skills gaps in areas like English, maths and IT; encourage more students to stay in education; and increase students' achievements and job prospects. The reforms will provide multiple pathways for students and challenge them at higher levels while providing support for those at lower levels. However, they will also require additional resources and increase teachers' workloads.
