In a letter to the Prime Minister sent in September 2020, the Council for Science and Technology (CST) highlights 4 challenges that must be considered in post-18 education reform, including:

addressing the skills mismatch between jobs and employers

supporting individuals who don’t choose to enter higher education but require training to support career goals

the need for an education system that provides lifelong learning opportunities

The advice also outlines 2 principles that should be integrated into post-18 education:

developing a system that serves a diversity of learners

promoting a coherent, integrated education system that offers relevant, high-quality education to all
