NEET figures fall to 9.4% but WBL participation shows no real growth
DCSF has announced that the proportion of 16-18 year olds in education and training has risen to 78.7%, the highest rate ever, but the proportion of young people participating in work based learning has only ‘stabilised’ at 6.8%, having steadily fallen from 11.3% since 1994. The proportion of young people aged 16, 17 and 18 in the NEET group has fallen significantly at all three ages. Ministers say that they are determined to reduce the NEET figures further with, for example, a major expansion of Apprenticeships and the use of Flexible New Deal to support NEET 18 year olds into employment. http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/SFR/s000792/index.shtml
