I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not because I didnt start taking education seriously until 6th form. I think it was because I had more freedom and I could learn the subjects I wanted to do. As long as you still have that option in your final year rather than doing GCSE a year later then yes I think its good for kids to carry on learning for another year.

The reason why Sixth form works is that the whole system is more open and work related than the current school curriculum. If the last two year between 15-17 rely on children telling teachers what they want to do, out of a series of choices and having far more work experience, then it would really benefit them.

"The interesting thing, talking to IT employers for example, is they say - the computer companies - the IT Diploma, for the first time, will teach students the theory, but also how to apply computers in practical ways in business or in the public sector. And we've never ever had that in a qualification before."
What about applied GCSEs? I took one in ICT (information communication technology) when they where introduced and it did the same as mentioned above. It's however like most GCSEs, utterly useless in the real world. Also they should be reducing and not increasing the age you leave a failing education system. The government are just worried by the statistics.
