Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 November 2007. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education Debate on the Address.
Health and Education
Of course I will not, but I will read the hon. Gentleman what he said:"““Diplomas were supposed to be about improving vocational education not undermining academic excellence.""We support the reform of vocational learning but these new exams are designed to subvert GCSEs and A levels.””" He said that we have to keep A-levels, and make diplomas only vocational, if we are to have excellence, and that is not true.
