Burnham said: "For too long in this country, students have been told that you must take the academic path to do well and to be respected. The whole school system has been built around it and that has let down young people seeking technical qualifications. "I want an education system based on parity between academic and technical which gives all young people a clear path in life. From today, Britain will value the hard hat every bit as much as the graduation cap. "In a fundamental change to the education system, we will introduce new technical education pathways from 14 – prestigious routes that will give students the chance to combine the core academic subjects with the skills, technical knowledge and experience they need to get quality, well-paid jobs where they live. My message to young people is this - whether you choose construction, coding or classics, or maths, manufacturing or mechanics, you’ll get the skills you need and be given the respect you deserve. "Fixing the youth unemployment crisis in Britain will require a major shake-up in how we do things – and that’s what this government will do. I want to ensure that our education system leaves no dead ends for our young people. The changes we’re announcing today will just be the start of our work to restore opportunity and hope across the country"

These kids have a much better take on Farage than most of the media. His man of the people act is now falling apart.

@mtothepitsmikey @PolitlcsUK When you're ready to face the truth, click on this link gospelsteps.com As much distain as I have for your poisonous rhetoric, I would rather you were saved from the deadly path you're on.

@mtothepitsmikey @PolitlcsUK You didn't answer the question. Resorted to petty insults because you can't defend your contradictory position. Just own it. You're a racist. Most people would rather you were honest so we can all just avoid you and others like you.

@mtothepitsmikey @PolitlcsUK Nice strawman. Kinda underlines my point when that's all you've got. But it's so fascinating that you would be so openly racist in your rhetoric but then clutch your pearls when called out on it. How do you managed to maintain that contradiction on a daily basis? Just own it.

@mtothepitsmikey @PolitlcsUK You must be new here. Government ministers do not need to have specific qualifications for each department. Otherwise no one would 'qualify'. You still haven't explained why you defaulted to racist DEI comments about people more educated and qualified than anyone else available.

@mtothepitsmikey @PolitlcsUK You've already been given the qualifications she has in other replies. But you already knew that - and assumed I didn't. But do go on. You're doing great at this.
