It’s the stubborn divide that has endured across the decades, and seemingly more so in the English education system than in that of many other countries. 

Why has the differential status of academic and vocational education been so intractable, and is there any real prospect of overcoming it? What if we were really determined to level the playing field – what would it take?

It’s time to address the latest issues surrounding the stubborn academic-vocational divide. Come along and join the debate.
