Seven year schedule for full implementation of secondary reform
Involving changes to qualifications and the curriculum and the introduction of 14 specialised diplomas, it will take until 2013 to implement fully. From the age of 14 to 16 every young person will study: - National Curriculum core subjects of English, maths and science; - National Curriculum foundation subjects of ICT,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], PE and citizenship; - work related learning and enterprise; - religious education; - sex, drug, alcohol and tobacco education and careers education. In addition, the choice available to them must eventually include all 14 of the new specialised diplomas and the opportunity to take a course in each of four areas: the arts, design and technology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the humanities and modern foreign languages. The diplomas will include engineering, creative and media, manufacturing, and travel and tourism. Courses teaching functional skills in English, maths and ICT will be trialled from this year before being incorporated into GCSEs beginning in 2009. The first five diplomas will be introduced in 2008. They will often contain GCSEs and A levels within them. Success at diploma level 2 will be the equivalent of five GCSEs at grades A*-C. From 16 to 19,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], young people will have a continuing entitlement to study towards any one of the diplomas. After succeeding at level 2, they will be able to move on to level 3, A levels or an apprenticeship. Success at diploma level 3 will lead to preparation for higher education are occupational training. 14-19 Education and Skills Implementation Plan is available from DfES Publications, 0845 60 222 60, or online at: [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The Court of Appeal pointed out that R and F's submission in the county court was of overt, conscious racism, and it was not prepared to find that there had been unconscious discrimination.The decisionThe Court of Appeal said that, unlike the ordinary civil claim where the judge decides, on the claimant's evidence only, whether the claimant has made out a case, in this case the judge had had the benefit of the whole of the evidence. Despite the school's failure to comply with the statutory requirements, the judge had been entitled to find on the basis of all the evidence that R and F had not proved racial discrimination.
