Education engagement varies significantly according to region, report finds
The north of England has the most disengaged students, according to a report from The Careers and Enterprise Company
The research found students from Humber, Liverpool and, Tees Valley are most at risk of being disengaged with education.
The research was based on six key indicators - including persistent absence and under-performance against GCSE expectations.
The report also discovered Buckinghamshire Thames Valley, Enterprise M3 (formed of Hampshire and Surrey), and Thames Valley Berkshire have the lowest risk.
The Careers and Enterprise Company is calling for more mentoring and is making available a country-wide fund of £12 million over the next four years to improve young people’s ability to transition into work. The fund is designed to support a network of mentors and targets young people who are most at risk of not achieving their potential.
