Andy Burnham: “I want to ensure that our education system leaves no dead ends for our young people.”

We can do it, and we can be the nation in the next 10 years that… does find the cure for cancer, that does make the breakthrough on dementia, or indeed on nuclear fusion.

In a fundamental change to the education system, we will introduce new technical education pathways from 14 – prestigious routes that will give students the chance to combine the core academic subjects with the skills, technical knowledge…

If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.

I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.
