Andy Burnham wants schools in England to offer technical education to children from the age of 14.
He said the current emphasis on academic subjects at the expense of vocational skills was writing off some pupils and contributing to the record number of young people not in education, employment or training.
The Conservatives say the real issue is a benefits system that means it “pays more to be on welfare than in work”.
