Paragraph 2
Mr Burnham's
is to change traditional
on white- and blue-collar work. He wants young people to believe that a
as a carpenter is just as
as working as a lawyer. He wants academic and technical skills to be
valued. He said: "From today, Britain will value the hard hat every
as much as the graduation cap." He added: "For too
, students have been told that they must take the academic
to do well and to be respected. The
school system has been built around
, and that has let down young people."
