Read the original article on bbc.com (opens in a new tab)BBC News reports on Year 10 careers lessons at Sandbach High School, where pupils practise mock job interviews, as nearly a million young people across the UK are not in education, employment or training and the Milburn review is due. It gives the national figure with its age range and its share of all 16 to 24 year olds. It reports a charity head saying work-readiness lessons are not enough on their own, and the Institute for Fiscal Studies warning that a one-size-fits-all approach is unlikely to work.
“Lent warns that work to improve young people's "work-readiness" isn't enough to solve the Neets crisis”
The article does not let the school's success story stand as the whole answer. It reports a charity head saying employers must also create opportunities.
“The Institute for Fiscal Studies warned that a "one-size-fits-all approach" to the Neet crisis was "unlikely to work”
The BBC attributes the policy assessment to a named independent body, and pairs it with evidence on which pupils are most at risk. Funding is presented as an open question rather than settled.
