England has 3 out of the world's top 5 universities, 4 out of the top 10. In recent years our university system has come under attack with the introduction of the Higher Education Act and top-up fees. We have no natural resources in our country, save those of our people. It is imperative that we focus on ensuring our people are educated to the best of their ability.

There are people who will never make academics as long as the sun rises in the sky, so why keep them at school till they're 16? Many youngsters become disruptive leading to general unrest in the classroom. I think it is better to give such people a basic education, then send them to trade training colleges at 14, subject to obtaining a Basic Education Certificate. For two years they would undertake skills learning in various areas such as plumbing, carpentry, bricklaying, etc., and during that time they would be assessed as to what type of trade they would be best suited to. At 16 they would enter City & Guilds type trade training. This would help alleviate the skills shortage our country has, and remove disinterested students from the academic environment which would assist those who choose the academic route.

This would present us with a two stream education system,one built on the academic route, and the other a trade training route.
