Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.
Education and Inspections Bill
Of course I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Williams, about GNVQs and so on. The point that I was trying to make is that, as soon as you start reducing things to league tables, you miss the real comparison. If we want children to learn English, maths and science to a reasonable level, it is surely possible that that is better delivered to some children with a vocational element attached to it, rather than by purely academic qualifications that have become quite debased.
