问题     Any secondary school pupils not planning to go to university would be given a clearer "route into work" under Labour party plans for a new education contract between the individual and the state.
    Andy Burnham. the shadow education secretary, will this week reveal plans which would aim to give every secondary school pupil a path to employment if they met a set of required standards under a revised curriculum more geared to the world of work.
    The idea, one of the first to emerge from Labour’s policy commissions, reflects its view that current thinking is geared too much to those heading to university and leaves the "forgotten half" depressed, having studied subjects that are too often unsuited to modern working life.
    Burnham’s idea would involve a radical reshaping of the curriculum so that it offered a much wider choice of subjects than those included in education secretary*Michael Gove’s English baccalaureate(中学毕业考试). More vocational subjects would be included, such as engineering, business studies and information and communications technology.
    While stressing the ideas were still in the planning stage, he made clear that a further expansion of apprenticeships in the public and private sectors would be needed if the government was to meet its obligations under the contract.
    Burnham admitted that Labour lost sight of the needs of the millions of young people who would not go to university: "The whole political class has failed the young people not planning to go to university by failing to come up with clear. structured routes to succeed in life. I want to put that right. "
    A contract would engage young people and drive them to higher levels of achievement. It is also linked to how you raise standards, because, if young people see there is something there at the end for them, that will engage them and make school relevant to them. That is part of what is missing at the moment.
    With rising costs in higher education, the education maintenance allowance scrapped and youth unemployment at record levels, he will argue that education must be "inspiring, relevant and help those who work hard to get on in life".  
If young people finally could see something there for them under the contract, they would be engaged and driven to ______.
