Recommendation 43

43 Paragraph: 178

England's upper secondary education curriculum remains internationally narrow and specialised

Conclusion
Whereas many other countries insist on students covering a broad and balanced curriculum up to age 18, England is an international outlier in the narrowness of its upper secondary education. The average number of A levels taken by a student is just 2.67, and T Levels, the new technical qualification, offer an even more narrow and specialised route.
