On the qualifications system, we need to ensure—and this Government have been clear in responding to some of the controversy that my noble friend Lord Watson identified in relation to defunding decisions —that there are appropriate routes for all young people to succeed. That will be at the heart of both our short qualifications review—the results of which will be published before Christmas—and the curriculum and assessment review, which will look more strategically at that 16 to 19 offering to students.
