ABSTRACT
This paper begins with an analysis of the changes in 14—19 education from the beginning of the 1980s until the last government's White Paper 14‐19 Education: Learning to Compete, which appeared in March 1997. It then considers the tensions in this legacy before exploring some of the issues that might be involved in realising the Labour Party's aims as set out, before the General Election, in their policy document Aiming Higher. Finally, the authors speculate, in light of developments since the Labour Party's victory on 2 May, on a possible scenario for the next decade and outline the kind of 14–19 system that we might be wanting to try to develop in the future.
