To adapt to our changing world, young people need an education that allows them to study a broader-ranging curriculum rather than specialise in three core academic subjects at 16. This would allow them to continue with key subjects that they otherwise would have given up at 16, such as a second language or maths. They also need an education that recognises the importance of critical thinking, community service and philosophy, much like the programmes of the International Baccalaureate (IB).
