We welcome the new guidance from Department for Education on identifying and supporting young people at risk of becoming NEET.    CEC looks forward to contributing to forthcoming school and college-focused guidance, due to be released later this year, which will support further collaboration between local authorities and schools to prevent young people becoming NEET at 16-18.    The careers system plays a vital role in supporting young people at risk of NEET including with Careers Hubs providing targeted support for schools and colleges. We are currently developing a bespoke RONI tool, designed to integrate with the current digital systems widely used within schools and colleges. This innovative tool will enable educators to deliver timely, targeted support to young people most in need.   Additionally, CEC is collaborating the Trailblazer Youth Guarantee areas to equip 16-18-year-olds with the skills and knowledge required for workforce entry. Our mission remains steadfast: to help every young person find their best next step.   Read DfE’s guidance for local authorities: https://bit.ly/4h72M1M

The need for alternative provisions in schools has become increasingly clear as traditional education systems often struggle to accommodate the diverse needs of all students. A key factor which needs to be recognised is that everyone learns differently. Many students, particularly those at risk of becoming disengaged or classified as NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), require tailored educational approaches that differ from mainstream methods. Programs like those offered here at ANTA Education highlight the importance of providing flexible, individualised learning environments where bespoke programs align with each student's strengths and interests, ensuring that no one is left behind in their educational journey. If you’d like to find out more about the work we’ve already done with school’s across Shropshire and want to find out how we can support your students then head to www.nobodyleftbehind.co.uk. #alternativeprovision #schools #education

Really interesting report published today by the Institute For Fiscal Studies highlighting funding pressures on 16 to 19 and the upcoming growth in the cohort. Layer on top the uncertainty of qualification reform and significant operational challenges with maths and English changes to conditions of funding and this is becoming a really tough part of the market. Sadly the report doesn’t mention independent training providers who now deliver nearly £200m of 16-19 classroom based provision to the most disadvantaged & disengaged young people. Many of our AELP members already have demand which outstrips funding allocations with more capping this year that I can remember. This critical 16 to 19 provision delivered by ITPs still seems to me to be FE’s best kept secret. About time we shouted more about it. Without ITPs the appalling NEET numbers would be sadly even more significant.

“Poisoned” education system; experts say scrap NEET Professor Kumar highlighted the centralisation of power and the “one country, one exam” policy as the fundamental reasons behind the NEET-2024 fraud scandal, criticising the National Testing Agency (NTA) for its lack of constitutional recognition. He argued that the central government’s control over entrance examinations is undemocratic, calling for these processes to be administered at the state level. #Educationsystem | #Centralisation | #Fundamentalreasons | #NEET2024 | #Fraudscandal | #Constitutional | #Recognition | #Centralgovernment | #Entrance | #Examination | #Statelevel | #Undemocratic | #Healthmnews Read more:

Addressing NEET Challenges in the North Today, we're proud to launch a crucial policy review into the growing challenges of 16-18 provision in the North of England. Authored by Alex Miles and supported by key partners, this report dives deep into the alarming rise of young people Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET). With the North's NEET rates surpassing the national average, and a growing gap in provision at levels 2 and below, it's time to take action. This report highlights the urgent need for policy reforms to ensure that every young person in the North can access their legal right to education and training. We advocate for a robust education and training system that meets the needs of our young people. Let’s work together to close the gap and provide better futures for all.
