Big changes are coming to education in England.
From 2029, new vocational GCSEs and 200,000 new work experience placements are being introduced to give young people practical, hands-on skills for the workplace.
These new courses carry the exact same weight as traditional GCSEs, meaning students won't have to choose between hands-on learning and strong qualifications.
