Description:

The final report of the Leitch Review of Skills identifies the UK's optimal skills mix for 2020 to maximise economic growth, productivity and social justice, sets out the balance of responsibility for achieving that skills profile and considers the policy framework required to support it.

The Review sets out a compelling vision for the UK. It shows that the UK must urgently raise achievements at all levels of skills and recommends that it commit to becoming a world leader in skills by 2020, benchmarked against the upper quartile of the OECD. This means doubling attainment at most levels of skill. Responsibility for achieving ambitions must be shared between Government, employers and individuals.
