Youth unemployment
Riots - 5 issues for education providers:
Attainment Attendance Alternative provision Address NEET early (RONIs) Pupils to be work ready …’Hope and dreams…it starts with schools’
‘After the Riots’
‘It is not clear what support young people below 16 who are at risk of becoming NEET will receive…It is also not clear how schools will be assessed on the careers advice and support they offer to their pupils…The Panel expects the Ofsted thematic review of careers guidance to be important here’.
‘In our Neighbourhood Survey, only 43% of residents feel
schools adequately prepare young people for work’.
Youth Contract
Job subsidies for businesses to take on an 18-24 year old as part of the work programme
Offer of work experience for every 18-24 year old before they enter the work programme
Incentives for employers to take on apprentices 16-17 year old NEET special support
Supports LA legal duty to young people up to 19/25 SEN
CEIAG – developments
New publications:
Ofsted school framework (Ofsted)(FE due Sept 2012)http://excellencegateway.org.uk/page.aspx?o=315923 has LSIS
good practice documents which are useful.
Statutory guidance for careers guidance (DfE)National career and work related education framework (ACEG) www.aceg.org.uk
What are the key drivers on CEIAG now?
Youth unemploymentRPA Destination measuresProfessional standards Quality awards
Education Act November 2011
New duty (Sept 2012): Schools to secure independent careers guidance for all in
year 9-11 (extended to yr 8 and up to yr 13 and colleges?)Other changes: Removal of duty to provide careers education years 7-11
BUT Secretary of State still expects careers education to be delivered in English schools
Removal of duty to provide careers advisers with access to and information on students BUT ministers expect these arrangements to be agreed as part of the school/careers guidance provider contract
Removal of duty on schools to provide careers information BUT this is an integrated part of the new duty above.
Data collection/publication of school and college leavers activities (destinations) NB: new progression/ ‘destination’ measure
based on S Goddard slides, summer 2011
The Education Act:
Independent careers guidance is defined as:• Impartial• Information on all options available in
16-18 phase of education or training including apprenticeships
• Promotes the best interests of pupils• Provided by people other than those
employed at a school
‘There is a demand for more and better careers guidance’ (DfE 11-11)
Ofsted Key Judgement Guidance criteria Quality of Leadership and Management: Ensuring the curriculum promotes successful progression to
the pupils’ next stage of education, training or employment Strategies and procedures, including the provision of
appropriate guidance, to help pupils prepare for life in modern, democratic Britain and a global society
Working in partnership with other schools, external agencies and the community, including business…
Overall effectiveness: The extent to which the education provided by the school meets
the needs of the range of pupils at the school…taking into account the progression and destination of pupils when they leave school. How well the students have gained:
A well-informed understanding of the options and challenges facing them as they move through the school and on to next stage of their education and training
Develop the skills and attitudes to enable them to participate fully and positively in democratic, modern Britain
based on S Goddard slides, summer 2011
Destination measures at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 (first published 2012 using ’11 data)
KS4 and KS5 Destination Measures are being developed to look at the success of schools in helping their pupils to progress on to positive post-16 destinations.
This is to help:
• Provide clear information to parents and young people about the post-16 routes taken by former learners.
• Make schools and post-16 providers accountable for ensuring that:
• all their pupils take qualifications that offer them the best opportunity to progress
• receive the support needed to prepare for and complete that transition.
• Support the increased focus on disadvantaged pupils to ensure that they make a successful transition, helping to raise post-16 participation and reduce NEET.
“For both primary and secondary schools, we will put greater emphasis on the progress of every child – setting out more prominently in performance tables howwell pupils progress…We will introduce a measure of how young people do when they leave school.”
The Importance of Teaching, 2010
based on S Goddard slides, summer 2011
What the measures might look like:
Key Stage 4:School A had 90 per cent of pupils who progressed to a positive destination within one year of ending Key Stage 4. Of these pupils:
50 per cent entered further education in School Sixth Form20 per cent entered further education in Further Education College 10 per cent entered work-based learning or an Apprenticeship10 per cent entered employment
Key Stage 5:College B had 70 per cent of students who progressed to a positive destination within one year of their 16-18 learning. Of these pupils:
40 per cent entered higher education at University (5 per cent of these students went to Oxford or Cambridge University)20 per cent continued in further education.10 per cent entered employment
Subject to data testing, the KS4 and 5 destination measure will be published alongside the KS 4 and 5 Performance Tables.
