Children will study creative subjects to boost their confidence as public speakers under a Labour schools shake-up to “tear down barriers”.
Leader Keir Starmer promised major reforms to the school curriculum yesterday and vowed to “shatter the glass ceiling” holding ordinary kids back.
In a highly personal speech, Mr Starmer told how seeing his toolmaker dad feel “looked down upon” and “disrespected” because of his job had pushed him to end the academic/vocational divide.
He vowed to break the link between young people’s success and their parents’ earnings with an overhaul of the curriculum and a boost for skills reform.
