They might make a start by reintroducing a genuine "General" Certificate of Education. In the days (46) it meant something, this was called the School Certificate. Employers liked it, because it indicated proficiency (47) English, Arithmetic, Science and Humanities—in (48) words, that you had an all-round education You could use it as a springboard to higher education, (49) it actually meant something in itself in every (50) from chemical to clothing.

答案
but
