The National Youth Agency: Research investigates role of educationin reaching potential

1 min read
The National Youth Agency has commissioned research with The Fabian Society on Life Chances: Education. This investigates the role of formal and non-formal education in supporting young people to achieve their full potential.

It considers reforms to narrow the gap in educational outcomes between young people from different backgrounds:

- new diplomas and vocational learning;

- tackling NEETs and raising the age for formal education to 18-years-old;

- positive activities and non-formal education ('educational leisure time'); and

- skills and social mobility - the personal and social development of young people.

The study extends beyond that of schools and colleges and the traditional classroom environment to encompass non-formal settings for educational and learning activities.

- To enjoy and achieve, to get the most out of life now and gain the knowledge, skills and aspirations needed for the future to make a positive contribution.
