Welcome to the 14-19 website at the Department for Children, Schools and Families
We want an excellent system of 14-19 education; a system where all young people have opportunities to learn in ways which motivate and engage them and through hard work position themselves for success in life.
This website explains how we are transforming learning for 14-19 year olds to do this – working with our partners and with local authorities, the Learning and Skills Council, schools, colleges and work-related learning providers.
The reforms have three main elements:
-
raising attainment now;
-
designing new curriculum and qualifications; and
-
delivering on the ground.
Success depends most of all on local partners – the job of the Government is to get behind them.
