In contrast, because there is rampant nonconsumption in secondary schools — of advanced courses,
foreign languages, credit recovery and so on — the disruptive models of
blended learning are likely to replace the traditional classroom over the long term.
This includes recommendations suggesting that: primary schools should bring in outside experts to teach coding; all primaries should have 3D printers and design software; secondary schools should be able to teach Computer Science, Design and Technology or another technical / practical subject in place of a
foreign language GCSE; the Computer Science GCSE should be taken by at least half of all 16 year olds; young apprenticeships should be reintroduced at 14,
blending a core academic curriculum with hands - on
learning; all students should
learn how businesses work, with schools linked to local employers; schools should be encouraged to develop a technical stream from 14 - 18 for some students, covering enterprise, health, design and hands - on skills; and that universities should provide part - time courses for apprentices to get Foundation and Honours degrees.
