Lack of detail relating to courses

[edit]

Needs a lot information, especially as it only refers to one type of course from a rather large list and is likely to only reflect one view of 'Key Stage 5' or Sixth Form study. I'll try to make some amendments in due course. Mmorrismjm (talk) 08:45, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes technically KS5 is not a 'thing' as key stages relates specifically to the national curriculum. I think the terms should be removed as it's confusing and unnecessary.
The correct term is post-16 which relates to the 2-3 years of further education. You cannot compare a young person completing an apprenticeship programme in a work placement on day release, with an A-level programme as a 'key stage'. The only similarity is the age of the young person entering those programmes - hence post-16 195.188.183.124 (talk) 12:25, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
