i like the notion that education should ask "how are you clever" as opposed to "how clever are you?" because despite my relevant intelligence to my peers as a kid, the only jobs i even heard of were shopkeeper, salesmen, factory worker, building labourer, mundane things.
I was never even made aware of the fantastic careers in the world at all. There genuinely wasnt a vision of that world..
Nowadays the world really does seem to be the oyster, the internet itself giving you insights into a million interesting subjects. You can really learn how to access these things and become knowledgable.
On a negative side, all the best jobs are bought nowadays or you really need to excell and unis are full of 'average; students relative to each other. Theyre also in debt on a wierd tax payers expense. I think most of these will end up in careers that they would succeed in anyway even wthout uni.
Therefore vocational knowledge i think should be set out much earlier, perhaps by the age of 11 when you might decide that actually they could achieve more without 5 years of comprehensive schools. Im adamant that I learned nothing useful in those informative years from secondary school
