The National Youth Agency: Non-formal education

The National Youth Agency has welcomed the second reading of the Education and Skills Bill.

Chief executive Fiona Blacke said: "As an agency whose mission is to support all young people to achieve their potential and to promote their personal and social development, we believe that the life chances of all young people will be increased if they remain in learning beyond the age of 16. This is particularly the case in relation to our most vulnerable young people. The starting point is making sure there is the right learning opportunity for every young person. We would welcome consideration in the Bill's proceedings on the role and contribution of the non-formal education sector."

More on the contribution of non-formal education can be found on The NYA's website at www.nya.org.uk.
