Our Head of Policy & Public Affairs Beatrice Barleon responds to today's Spring Statement and why more needs to be done to address the financial barriers to technical and vocational entry routes into engineering and technology for all young people. https://lnkd.in/ewy3Pr-8

Through EUKEducation we run a teacher network. Here Clare Doherty, Head of Technology, St. Mary’s College blogs about how rewarding membership of the network has been. https://lnkd.in/exfRx2T4

Our second 'School report' is released today. ‘School report: What teachers know and think about routes into engineering and technology’ reveals outcomes from research conducted with 800 STEM teachers across the UK. We're encouraged by one of the key findings. When asked what the best route into engineering was, there was an even split between teachers: ✅ 36% said universities ✅ 36% said apprenticeships Becca Gooch, EngineeringUK's Head of Research, says: "Teachers are hugely influential in career guidance to young people... but more needs to be done on awareness of technical qualifications such as T Levels. The newness of some qualifications may have coloured teachers’ opinions of courses, so understanding their knowledge and perceptions of career paths into engineering and technology is important. Teachers need to be supported and equipped with the best knowledge on different career paths into engineering and technology and ensure they are not biased in offering information on pathways.”  Read the second 'School report' and uncover more findings now ➡️ https://lnkd.in/en-j5Qe7 #FutureWorkforce #Research #Apprenticeships #TLevels
