The Wolf Review and after: recommending and

implementing vocational education reform

Vocational education for 14-19 year olds should serve the purpose of creating and maintaining opportunities for all young people. This review makes a number of detailed

recommendations to that end.

Wolf considers how vocational education for 14-19 year olds can be improved in order to promote successful progression into the labour

market and into higher level education and training routes, and provides practical recommendations to help inform future policy direction, taking into

account current financial constraints.

The review has been informed by over 400 pieces of evidence from the public, a number of visits to colleges, academies and training providers, and interviews

and discussion sessions with key partners in the sector.

Professor Wolf will introduce her report and the arguments that led to her substantive recommendations. Following this, we invite you to continue the

conversation over refreshments.

Speaker Professor Alison Wolf, Kings College London
