British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he will “revolutionise” the UK’s education system by providing older teenagers and adults with lifetime skills training.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need to bring the skills and education system “closer to the employer market” and widen the opportunities that are available for all, Downing Street said.
