HC 249, Fifth Report of Session 2006-07 - Report, Together with Formal Minutes, Oral and Written Evidence

In October 2004, the Tomlinson report (available to download at: www.dfes.gov.uk/14-19/documents/Final Report.pdf) set out wide-ranging proposals for changes to the curriculum and examination arrangements for the education of 14-19 year olds.

In February 2005, the Government published its response in the form of a White Paper ('14-19 Education and Skills (Cm. 6476)', ISBN 010164762X, available below) detailing a 10-year reform programme including the introduction of 14 new awards (originally called vocational Diplomas) rejecting the overarching Diploma award recommended in the Tomlinson report.

Whilst stating its belief that the proposed changes would have been better structured and more coherent had Tomlinson's proposals been adopted, the Committee's report examines the design, development, and implementation of the Government's Diplomas scheme.
