ABSTRACT
Keohane Report A study group under Professor Kevin Keohane was set up by the Secretary of State for Education in April 1978 to consider the Schools Council’s proposals for a Certificate of Extended Education and to consider possible developments in the provision of relevant courses and examinations in schools and further education. In its Report, Proposals for a Certificate of Extended Education (1979), it recommended the development of non-compulsory vocationally oriented syllabuses and compulsory tests of efficiency in English and mathematics, with pupils able to select other aspects of their studies as appropriate. The proposal was rejected by the then Department of Education and Science.
