  2. 14-18: A New Vision forSecondary Education Lord Baker of Dorking

  3. The economy is changing

  4. An even bigger story: the baby boomers are retiring (Thousands)

  5. We need huge numbers ofscientists, engineers and technicians Between 2012 and 2020, we need – • 830,000 SET professionals (degree level) • 450,000 SET technicians (levels 3 and 4) SET = science, engineering and technology Figures include growth + replacement demand (mainly to replace baby boomers planning to retire)

  6. Higher education has grown rapidly – but not in all subjects

  7. But supply won’t meet demand Demand for science, engineering and technology graduates: 104,000 per year between 2012 and 2020 Number of new graduates taking UK jobs in SET occupations: 64,000 per year Shortfall: 40,000 graduates per year

  8. Education is out of step with the economy. Schools, further education colleges, training providers and universities are failing to deliver the skills we need today, let alone tomorrow.

  9. Apprenticeships have grown – but the numbers are unbalanced

  10. Britain’s plight Only 4% of 15 year olds in the UK want careers in engineering and computing ... … placing the UK 35thout of 37 countries in an OECD survey.

  11. Other countries value vocational education more highly …

  12. …and have lower youth unemployment

  13. The connection is obvious

  14. This is why we need University Technical Colleges

  15. What is a UTC? • Independent state school • Science, engineering and technology • 14-18 age range • All-ability intake • Sub-regional • Commitment of a local university • Employers involved from the start in shaping and delivering the curriculum

  16. Curriculum 14 - 16 40% Technical 60% General & bridging Post-16 40% General & bridging 60% Technical

  17. David Cameron, Prime Minister, 2 October 2013 “We’ve already got technical colleges run by great companies like JCB…I say: let’s have one of those colleges in every single major town.”

  18. ® Thank you
