Primary schools to be told to identify children at risk of future unemployment
Exclusive: Neet crisis review to call for teachers to be asked to spot those at risk of leaving education jobless at 16
AI Summary
Primary schools in England should be required to identify children at risk of becoming NEET (not in employment, education or training) after age 16, according to a government review led by Alan Milburn. The review will call for teachers to spot warning signs from preschool onwards and then intervene to help those children onto a different path. Milburn also emphasises the need for ministers to make someone responsible for identifying and supporting these at-risk young people.
