Parties go to battle on skills

Article Abstract:

The two main UK political parties have set out their education policies. The ruling Conservative party is in favor of bringing together quality control and funding for all bodies supplying education for 16-year-olds to 19-year-olds. The Conservative Education Secretay, Gillian Shepherd, has also called for National Traineeships. The Labor party is proposing a University for Industry with links to homes and workplaces using computers. Both parties claim their policies will solve skills shortages and unemployability.
