she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I want to make sure this generation is able to seize that opportunity, whatever their background or postcode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Milburn said the changes announced for England on Tuesday were &#8220;very welcome&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;They are a big step in the right direction and consistent with the findings of my review,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;A whole system reset is needed across health, welfare and labour market policy as well as in education and skills. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I know the PM recognises this and my final report will outline the further changes that are needed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But Laura Trott, the shadow education secretary, said the announcements &#8220;don&#8217;t come anywhere close to undoing the damage Labour has already done to the job market&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We all want to see better opportunities for young people and a boost to technical education, but this announcement is all over the place&#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s not clear whether or not Labour intends to replace GCSEs, which would be a disaster. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The focus should be on the knowledge-rich curriculum that has helped the most deprived children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Pepe Di&#8217;Iasio, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said he was pleased the government was treating the &#8220;shocking&#8221; number of Neets as an &#8220;urgent priority&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Though he said the union supported its aims, he said there was &#8220;little detail&#8221; about what the plans for educational reform would look like in practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He added that it was &#8220;wrong&#8221; to make major educational policy announcements in the middle of the school summer holiday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Paul Whiteman, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), said school leaders &#8220;support the principle of giving technical and vocational education the same status and recognition as more traditional academic routes&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;However, this announcement sets out a direction of travel rather than detailed proposals, and schools will need much greater clarity about what it means in practice and over funding,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 728px 160px; gap:2px; width:908px;
