Michael Gove, the UK Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and FAmilies, has set out plans for a new Technical School in each of the 12 biggest cities in England, with the long-term ambition to have one in every area of the country should the Conservative party come to power in the next election.
He told the Conservative Party Conference these 'high quality, high-tech academies' will raise the status of technical qualifications and boost Britain’s science and engineering base.
Under the plan Technical Schools will have academy status, be open to all students from 14 years of age and be sponsored by businesses and universities.
