Andy Burnham has rolled out a crucial part of his plan to change education for young people in Greater Manchester

At Rayner Stephens High School in Tameside on Friday, the mayor launched the ‘Beeline’ service – an online platform that helps young people find jobs and career advice.  The tool is a part of the roll-out of the Manchester Baccalaureate – or MBacc – that is supposed to offer kids who don’t want to go to university an alternative route into key industries for the city-region.
