Vocational course graduates offered new pathway on to degrees

The devil in this and similar ideas in places such as the UK is in the detail. Beyond credit what about content? If someone has spent X months on a VET course that us X months that they have not spent studying material that students who went directly into uni will have. If the VET student transitions into uni, when and ow re they going to make up that gap in their knowledge and expertise? Of course the same applies if a uni student were to transition into a vocational degree. For all the wishful thinking about putting the two pathways on equal footings and allow movement, the thinking appears to be geared towards press statements rather than practical policy. To quote Richard Feynman. "You can't fool nature"
