Strongly agree

No, vocational or skill based qualifications should also be available

The Liberal Democrats have historically supported the idea of offering vocational and skill-based qualifications alongside traditional academic qualifications like GCSEs. For example, in their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they pledged to 'replace high-stakes, one-off testing with a broader range of assessments' and to 'introduce a new two-year vocational learning offer for young people who do not want to take an academic qualification.' This suggests that they would be in favor of providing alternative options to GCSE exams for students at the end of Year Eleven.
