THE legal age for buying tobacco should rise every year, the Prime Minister has said as he announced new proposals to crack down on smoking.
“If we are to do the right thing for our kids, we must try and stop teenagers taking up cigarettes in the first place,” he said.
A new singled combined qualification called the Advanced British Standard would see A-levels and T-levels rolled into one, he said, and will see all pupils study maths and English until 18.“This assumption that the only route to success was the university route was one of the great mistakes of the last 30 years. It led to thousands of young people being ripped off by degrees that did nothing to increase their employability or earnings potential.
The conference was also told of plans to give teachers and further education lecturers £30,000 in tax-free bonuses. Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
