ABSTRACT
I was hanging out at the City and Guilds the other day, chatting about the woeful fact that not enough people realise that it is good, not bad, when a kid decides to do a solid vocational training instead of racking up debt on a fifth-rate degree. And one observation from an old-stager pulled me up short. It is, he says, partly the fault of careers teachers. They don’t know enough about vocational courses, and they don’t push them enough.
