Schools to offer technical subjects to pupils from age 14, Burnham says

Andy Burnham has announced plans for schools to offer technical subjects to pupils from the age of 14. These courses will focus on areas such as artificial intelligence and manufacturing, which are closely tied to local job markets. The goal is to provide students with relevant skills and training to prepare them for in-demand careers. By introducing these technical subjects at a younger age, the government aims to better align education with local employment opportunities.
