Functuional Skills the key to GCSE success?

Hidden away in the TES this week a small piece that could be very significant.

An LA tracked a 10% improvement in the numbers achieving 5+A*-C GCSE amongst students who had college vocational courses as part of their curriculum. ie the Diploma!

Now I think that's pretty important and it supports what many think - young people like the diploma and if you like something, chances are you do well.
