National Institute Economic Review, 2001, vol. 178, 75-87

Abstract: Government has promised that Britain will build a vocational route based on apprenticeship to match that found in the rest of Europe. However, judged on the first five years of Modern Apprenticeship, every important aspect of apprenticeship in Britain will need to be strengthened and improved if the government's aspirations are to be realised.‘Beyond compulsory school age, we are determined to build a coherent and high-quality vocational education and training system that is the envy of the world.’ [Opportunity and Skills in the Knowledge-Driven Economy, a final statement on the work of the National Skills Task Force from the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, 2001.]
