Camilla Stronati OECD Education and Skills Thanks so much for organising this seminar. It was very interesting to hear such a well-informed debate about the difficult issues around balancing choice and coherence in curriculum and qualifications. Look forward to reading the new OECD Spotlight publication on this issue, too! A couple of key dilemmas stood out for me: 1. How to increase student choice in a way that doesn't lead to unhealthy competition between schools and resultant over-provision that becomes difficult to resource? 2. What broad, transferable, or interdisciplinary skills and knowledge might be necessary to provide coherence and ensure student pathways remain open - while still providing the student choice that is so necessary for motivation at upper secondary level? AS colleagues highlighted, this is definitely an art and not a science!
