<p>An increase in university graduates does not need to come at the expense of other
routes into highly skilled employment. Nearly 60% of the country’s working age population
still do not have a Level 4+ qualification. It is also not a stark choice for young
people to choose between technical or academic education, as they can and should choose
the right track for them.</p><p>The Skills Plan, in responding to the Sainsbury recommendations,
makes clear that technical education must always be about developing the skills, knowledge
and behaviours required for a specific occupation. This Government is focused on strengthening
the education system to enable everybody to achieve their potential and to ensure
that once and for all, we address the gap in skills at technical and higher technical
levels that affects the nation’s productivity.</p>
