Alan Milburn criticises plan to prepare four-year-olds for work

Original: alan milburn

Alan Milburn is making headlines over criticism of a government-backed proposal to introduce work-readiness and careers-related learning in primary schools, including for children as young as four. A report in the Metro describes the plan as 'pointless', arguing that preparing reception-age children for the world of work is inappropriate and that the focus should remain on play and early development rather than employability skills.

Why now: Milburn's comments on careers education for very young children have sparked debate about the role of schools in preparing pupils for work.
