I'm proud England remains one of the world's top-performing education systems and I want to thank the teachers whose dedication makes this possible. I don’t want to stand still on the back of it. I want excellence everywhere, for every child, in every part of the country. The best systems don't choose between academic and technical excellence, or engagement in education. They do it all - strong academic standards, alongside high-quality vocational and technical education, and a sense of belonging and purpose in the classroom too. So we'll build on what works and go further: more pathways into study and work, equipping young people with the tools and opportunities to shape their own future.
