1
Thank you very much, Damian, and my thanks also to Mandy for hosting us here at the college today.
2
Now, I took my very first steps into elected politics as a local councillor in South London.
3
For two years, I was the chairman of the Education Authority in Merton.
4
It was an experience I will never forget, because I saw how vital good schools
5
and colleges are to a community how the hopes and aspirations
6
which parents have for their children and
7
which young people have for their futures are bound up with the quality of education on offer
8
and here in this fantastic setting in a building from Derby's proud past
9
which today is helping to define a fantastic future for this city
10
and county as part of Derby College the immense value of great local institutions providing people with an education
11
that truly works for them is clear now I drew on my experiences in South London
12
when I first became an MP
13
and made my maiden speech in Parliament on the subject of education in 1997 I said then
14
that the aim of education policy should be to provide the right education for every child
15
that for some children that will be an education that is firmly based in learning practical and vocational skills.
16
For others, it will be an education based on academic excellence.
17
A lot has changed in the last 20 years, but that core principle that the needs of every child
18
and every young person deserve to be met still drives my vision of the education system our country needs.
19
And the need for such a system has never been greater.
20
First, because the new technologies
21
which are shaping the economy of the future will transform the world of work
22
and demand new knowledge and skills in the decades ahead.
23
Technologies like artificial intelligence, biotech
24
and new advances in data science have the potential to drive up living standards
25
and open new possibilities for human achievement and personal fulfilment.
26
But if we're to seize those opportunities, if we're to make Britain a great engine room of this
27
technological revolution in the 21st century we need to make the most of all of our talents.
28
Now the sixth form students I met at Featherstone High School in Southall this morning
29
and the young people studying here at Derby College will be
30
starting their careers in the new economy of the 2020s and 2030s.
31
To give them the skills they need to succeed we need an education
32
and training system which is more flexible and more diverse than it is today.
33
One which enriches their lives with knowledge gives each of them a great start in life
34
and is there for them when they need it.
35
And there's another reason why we must act now to deliver that education system that truly works for everyone.
36
Because the Britain of the 2020s will be a Britain outside of the European Union pursuing a new course in the world.
37
And I want the Britain which these young people will be living in to be a self -confident, outward -looking Britain.
38
The best friend and ally of our EU partners but also Britain which is out in the world,
39
forming even closer ties with friends and allies right across the globe.
40
We will learn together, collaborating in research which makes new scientific breakthroughs and improves our understanding of the world.
41
We will trade together, spreading opportunity and prosperity ever more widely.
42
And we will stand together in support of the shared values
43
which unite Britain with so many other like -minded countries – in Europe, yes, but across the world, too.
44
To become that Britain, where a thriving economy drives up living standards and creates greater security and opportunity for everyone,
45
and where the prosperity which economic growth generates is more fairly shared in our society,
46
we need education to be the key that unlocks the door to a better future.
47
Through education, we can become a country where everyone, from every background, gains the skills they need to get a good job
48
and live a happy and fulfilled life to achieve
49
that we must have an education system at all levels
50
which serves the needs of every child and if we consider the experience
51
which many young people have of our system as it is today it's clear
52
that we don't have such a system today now imagine two children currently in secondary school and thinking about their futures.
53
One is a working -class boy from here in Derby.
54
He aspires to a career as a lawyer
55
but he doesn't have a social network to draw on with any links to the profession
56
and he doesn't know if someone like him can make it.
57
The road he will have to take to achieve his dream
58
is much more challenging than the one his counterpart who is privately educated will face.
59
Almost a quarter of the students at our research -intensive universities
60
come from the 7 % of the population who go to private school.
61
And the professions which draw their recruits primarily from these institutions remain unrepresentative of the country as a whole,
62
skewed in favour of a particular social class.
63
For the boy from a working -class home here in Derby, the odds are stacked against him.
64
And as a country, we will all lose out when we do not make the most of everyone's talents and ability.
65
And now imagine a second child.
66
She's a girl from a middle -class background who is privately educated.
67
Her dream is to be a software developer, and she wishes she could go straight into the industry.
68
But she faces another set of pressures, which tell her that studying academic A -levels
69
and making a UCAS application to a Russell Group university is what the world expects of her.
70
The idea that there might be another path, just as promising and better suited to her individual hopes and dreams, simply doesn't occur.
71
In each case, the system is not working for the individual or for our country.
72
Paul Johnson of the IFS recently wrote about the experiences his two sons had of leaving school.
73
One, a natural fit at university, found the application process simple and straightforward.
74
The other, who wanted to pursue a technical course, found it much more difficult because everything points to university as the default.
75
Roughly half of young people go to university and roughly half do not.
76
But in the 20 years since we introduced tuition fees, public debate on tertiary education has been dominated by a discussion of how we fund
77
and support those who go to university
78
and there's been nothing like the same attention paid to how we support the training
79
and develop the skills of the young people who do not.
80
Most politicians, most journalists, most political commentators took the academic route themselves and will expect their children to do the same
81
and there remains a perception that going to university is really the only desirable route
82
while going into training is something for other people's children
83
if we're going to succeed in building a fairer society
84
and a stronger economy we need to throw away this outdated attitude for good
85
and create a system of tertiary education that works for all our young people
86
that means equality of access to an academic university education
87
which is not dependent on your background and it means a much greater focus on the technical alternatives too.
88
One of the great social achievements of the last half century
89
has been the transformation of an academic university education from something enjoyed almost exclusively by a social elite into something
90
which is open to everyone.
91
But making university truly accessible to young people from every background is not made easier by a funding system
92
which leaves students from the lowest income households bearing the highest levels of debt, with many graduates left questioning the return they get for their investment.
93
And for those young people who do not go on to academic study, the routes into further technical and vocational training today are hard to navigate.
94
The standards across the sector are too varied, and the funding available to support them is patchy.
95
The UK's participation rate in advanced technical education,
96
teaching people skills which will be crucial for the future is low by international standards.
97
The latest annual figures show that fewer than 16 ,000 people completed higher qualifications through the further education system.
98
That is compared to almost 350 ,000 undergraduate degrees which were awarded last year.
99
This imbalance has an economic cost, with some businesses finding it hard to recruit the skilled workers they need
100
but it also has a social cost in wasted human potential
101
which we too often ignore
102
so now is the time to take action to create a system
103
that is flexible enough to ensure that everyone gets the education
104
that suits them and that's what the review
105
which i'm launching today sets out to deliver and in doing
106
so it will build on the enormous progress we have already made in raising standards in our schools since 2010.
107
The success of every young person in whatever they go on
108
to do in life is shaped by the education they receive at school.
109
And Conservatives have put restoring rigour and high standards in our primary and secondary schools at the heart of our education reforms.
110
We launched a major expansion of the Academy programme, putting school teachers in charge of raising standards in their schools.
111
And we also went a step further, creating free schools to give teachers, universities and charities the chance to bring greater innovation and specialism to the mix.
112
I've always believed in the great potential which free schools have to improve the lives of children.
113
That's why I put them in the Conservative Election Manifesto in 2001 as Shadow Education Secretary.
114
And now free schools score some of the very highest results at GCSE.
115
The range of reforms which we put in place are leading to improved outcomes for young people.
116
1 .9 million more children are being taught in schools that are good or outstanding.
117
The attainment gap is shrinking at primary and secondary school, and England is improving internationally.
118
The job is not yet done, but we're making excellent progress, and enormous credit is due to the teachers whose hard work has driven these improved outcomes.
119
On top of the firm foundation of a great primary
120
and secondary education and the reforms we're putting in place to introduce high -quality tea levels,
121
we now need to ensure that options open to young people as they move into adulthood are more diverse,
122
that the routes into further education and training are clearer, and that all options are fully accessible to everyone.
123
And that's why I'm today launching a major and wide -ranging review into post -18 education.
124
The review will be supported by an expert panel, and I'm delighted that Philip Auger has agreed to chair
125
that panel it will focus on four key questions how we ensure
126
that tertiary education is accessible to everyone from every background how
127
our funding system provides value for money both for students
128
and taxpayers how we incentivize choice and competition right across the sector
129
and finally how we deliver the skills
130
that we need as a country this is a review
131
which for the first time looks at the whole post -18
132
education sector in the round breaking down false boundaries between further
133
and higher education so we can create a system
134
which is truly joined up universities many of
135
which provide technical as well as academic courses will be considered alongside colleges institutes of technology and apprenticeship providers
136
there are huge success stories to be found right across the sector at every level and by taking a broad view,
137
Philip and his expert panel will be able to make recommendations which help the sector to be even better in the future.
138
Our universities are world leaders and jewels in Britain's crown.
139
16 British universities are in the world's top 100 and four are in the top 10.
140
I want to know how we can build on that success
141
and at the same time ensure that people from all backgrounds share the benefits of university study.
142
So the review will examine how we can give people from disadvantaged backgrounds an equal chance to succeed.
143
That includes how disadvantaged students and learners receive maintenance support, both from government and universities and colleges.
144
But the review will also look more widely and examine our whole system of student funding.
145
There are many aspects of the current system which work well.
146
Universities in England are now better funded than they have been for a generation.
147
And sharing the cost of university between taxpayers as a whole
148
and the graduates who directly benefit from university study is a fair principle.
149
It's enabled us to lift the cap on the number of places, which was in effect a cap on aspiration, so universities can expand and so broaden access.
150
But I know that other aspects of the system are a cause for serious concern,
151
not just for students themselves but parents and grandparents too and this is a concern which I share.
152
The competitive market between universities which the system of variable tuition fees envisaged has simply not emerged.
153
All but a handful of universities charge the maximum possible fees for undergraduate courses.
154
Three -year courses remain the norm
155
and the level of fees charged do not relate to the cost or quality of the course.
156
So we now have one of the most expensive systems of university tuition in the world.
157
We've already begun to take action to address some of these concerns.
158
We scrapped the increase in fees that was due this year
159
and we've increased the amount graduates can earn before they start repaying their fees to £25 ,000.
160
The review will now look at the whole question of how students
161
and graduates contribute to the cost of their studies including the level terms and duration of their contribution.
162
Our goal is a funding system which provides value for money for graduates
163
and taxpayers so the principle
164
that students as well as taxpayers should contribute to the cost
165
of their studies is an important one I believe as do most people including students
166
that those who benefit directly from higher education should contribute directly
167
towards the cost of it that's only fair the alternative shifting
168
the whole burden of university tuition onto the shoulders of taxpayers as a whole would have three consequences.
169
First, it would inevitably mean tax increases for the majority of people who did not go to university
170
and who on average earn less than those who did.
171
Second, it would mean our universities competing with schools and hospitals for scarce resources which in the past meant they lost out,
172
putting their international preeminence at risk.
173
And third, it would mean the necessary reintroduction of a cap on numbers, with the Treasury regulating the number of places an institution could offer
174
and preventing the expansion which has driven wider access in recent years
175
and that is not my idea of a fair or progressive system
176
but philip and his colleagues will also look beyond universities to examine choice
177
and competition right across the sector and recommend practical solutions this will build on reforms
178
which are already in train to increase the options which are available across further and higher education.
179
Over the last few years, reforms to technical education have improved every aspect of the offer available to young people.
180
We now have higher standards for apprenticeships and vocational courses.
181
T -levels are on the way, which will provide a high -quality technical alternative to A -levels.
182
A new network of institutes of technology will specialise in the advanced technical skills our economy needs.
183
This review will now identify how we can help young people make more effective choices between these different options.
184
That could include giving young people better guidance about the earning potential of different jobs
185
and what different qualifications are needed to get them so they can make more informed decisions about their futures.
186
But this isn't just about young people.
187
Retraining throughout the course of your career to change jobs
188
or gain promotion would only become more necessary as new technologies have an impact on our economy.
189
We need to support flexible, lifelong learning, including part -time and distance learning, something which the current funding system does not always make easy.
190
So by focusing on these four key priorities, making tertiary education accessible to all, promoting choice and competition in the sector,
191
delivering the skills our economy needs, and getting value for money for students and taxpayers,
192
we can give every young person access to an education that suits their skills and aspirations,
193
one which opens up possibilities for their future and helps them into a rewarding career.
194
Almost 30 years ago, when I was in charge of that local education authority, an incoming Conservative Prime Minister, who like me went to a state school,
195
said that the great task of the coming decade should be to make the whole of this country a genuinely classless society.
196
Eighteen months ago, when I became Prime Minister, I spoke of my desire to make Britain a great meritocracy.
197
Today, our ambition for the Britain we will build outside the EU must be just as great, and it must be matched with the determination to turn that ambition into reality.
198
because by voting to leave the eu in 2016 millions of
199
people across this country were not just choosing to leave the
200
european union they were sending a clear message about how our society
201
and our economy works or rather doesn't work in too many communities
202
if we're truly to make good on the instruction of the
203
referendum we need to reconnect everyone in our society to a sense of fairness
204
and opportunity we need to make britain a country where everyone
205
can go as far as their talents will take them
206
and no one is held back by their background or class where education
207
is the key to opening up opportunity for everyone the vision
208
i have for the britain we will build is of a country
209
which is fit for the future delivered through bold social and economic reform
210
that's why we're building an education system which unlocks everyone's talents
211
and gives them the skills they need to go as far
212
as their hard work will take them it's why we support the market economy
213
and back entrepreneurs and wealth creators but step in when businesses don't play by the rules
214
and it's why we're making the uk the very best place in the world to start and grow a high -tech business,
215
while also making sure that new technologies work for everyone in society.
216
If we get it right, we can build a country that truly works for everyone.
217
A country where your background does not define your future, and class distinctions are a thing of the past.
218
Where a boy from a working class home can become a high court judge, thanks to a great state education.
219
And where a girl from a private school can start a software business, thanks to a first class technical education.
220
That's my vision for a fairer society and how we will deliver it.
221
A society where good, rewarding work is available for everyone.
222
An economy with the skills it needs to succeed.
223
Britain as the great meritocracy.
224
A country that respects hard work, rewards, effort and industry.
225
Where a happy and fulfilled life is within everyone's grasp.
226
Thank you.

Bu Ders Hakkında

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
