This is our ambitious strategy for education, skills and children's services for the next five years and beyond.
It seeks not only to address our historic weaknesses, but also to improve every aspect of what we do. It puts a clear focus on children, learners, parents and employers, not just in setting out what we want to offer, but in designing ways of doing it that promote personalisation and choice.
This means change across the whole system. It means more diversity to give choice; more autonomy to give freedom for excellence; more investment in those who work at the front line, and those who lead them; and stronger partnerships to bring people together around the needs of the individual. Some of these changes will be more comfortable than others; but all of them are necessary and right if we are to give the children and learners who are our future what they deserve.
The world is changing. We cannot stand still. We have a vision of the future, and we have the clear principles and strong proposals that will help us realise the vision.
Over the next few months, we will be doing more to set out the details of our proposals and to share them widely. We are clear about our direction of travel; but we know we need strong partnerships to make it work. We welcome comments and suggestions on the way forward for learners and children, and look forward to working with you to make it a reality.
