Baccalaureate A Model For Curriculum Reform
Paperback Edition: 1/2003
The issue of 14-19 education and training is on the reform agenda in British education. Concerns about premature specialization, the low status of vocational education and a divided, twin-track system have argued a strong case for a baccalaureate model. This book offers a systematic analysis
of the baccalaureate debate. It covers the existing international, French and Welsh models and assesses the value and feasibility of a baccalaureate-style system for England.Key subjects covered include the breadth and balance of the system, participation and inclusion and progression to higher education and employment. "The Baccalaureate" combines theory and practice and draws on the experience of a range of specialist contributions from higher and further education, state and independent schools, as well as employers.
