Paragraph 2
Prime Minister Burnham's
is to reset traditional
on white- and blue-collar work. He wants young people to believe that a
as a plumber, carpenter, or
is just as valuable as working as a lawyer or doctor. He said: "I want an education system based on
between academic and technical, which gives all young people a clear
in life. From today, Britain will value the hard hat every
as much as the graduation cap." He added: "For too long in this country, students have been told that they must take the
path to do well and to be respected. The whole school
has been built around it, and that has let down young people seeking
qualifications."
