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 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.
