Let’s review empirical evidence looking at the impact of some key reforms which were designed to address a number of specific problems in the UK education system, namely poor and apparently falling standards in schools, the low staying on rate at age 16, the relatively poor basic skills of the UK population and persistent inequalities in Higher Education. A major concern in the 1980s was that the staying on rate in the UK, although rising, was low by international standards. Furthermore, exam achievement at age 16 had stagnated. This led to widespread concerns about falling standards in schools.

In response the government introduced a st...
