Wednesday 24 September In an exclusive interview with policyreview.tv Schools’ Minister Jim Knight MP talked about the Prime Minister’s announcement to provide vouchers worth £700 to enable poorer families to have access to the internet. Studies have shown that having a computer at home can help to raise pupils’ examination results. “It’s wrong for the digital divide to disadvantage those children whose parents can’t afford…broadband connection”, said Knight. Listen to Minister for Lifelong Learning Bill Rammell MP respond to the Conservatives' view that 14-19 Diplomas will dilute A levels and be confusing to employers. "For far too long in this country we've had youngsters at the age of 14 with real talent, potential and ability but they've been switched off by having an exculsively academic route to educational success." Rammell pointed out that the Diplomas have been developed with input from business and that universities were recognising their worth for entry to vocational degrees. "These are quality qualifications", he said.
