 Most of the advanced economies with which Britain compete are trying to rebalance towards export and investment-led growth. We're all trying to do the same thing. Which of us succeed will be who's got the best differentiator? Which economy stands out, being more innovative, more dynamic? We talk a lot about creating a knowledge economy. We know there are more high-skill jobs and fewer low-skill jobs. So the state of our education system is a really accurate barometer of how successful we're going to be on that new journey to growth. In this survey we've found no grounds for complacency about the state of our education and skills system. We've got a huge amount of activity by businesses in terms of investment in skills, apprenticeships, links with education, but cause for concern. Concerns about whether some young people are failed by the education system, whether employers are having to deal with remedial needs in literacy and numeracy, which in an ideal world young people would have been better served during their time at school. CBI has traditionally concentrated on the transition from education to work. We've been interested in young people entering the labour market whether directly from school, from college or from university. But the seeds of underperformance start so early in the education system, the early years of schooling, often actually in primary school. And those who are slipping behind by the age of 11 struggle to make more progress by the age of 16. I think that has messages for the government and it has messages for the business community. We need to start earlier. Because looked at from a business point of view, if we're investing, you don't spend a lot of time at the end of the production line putting things right, you get them right to begin with where they're starting to go along.
