Subject: UK undergraduate design education is school level?
With reference to Terry's comment:
"Mischievously, it's possible to take the words used in this QAA for Art and
Design and ask 'Could a primary school program accord with the wording of
this honours degree Quality Assurance for a UK Design degree?' It might be
possible. Certainly a secondary-school Design course might easily fulfil
this wording for UK Design degree quality assurance."
Here is a link to a secondary school Design course that I have spent
the last few years developing in consultation with teachers and other colleagues.

It would seem that Terry's comments are true for this level of education. This course grows in complexity across a preliminary level and three stages, Stage 3 being for typical university bound students.
