Written Question
Vocational Education
Monday 10th October 2016

Asked by: Tom Pursglove (Conservative - Corby)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to increase opportunities for young people to access skills and vocational education.

Answered by Justine Greening

It is essential that everyone, irrespective of background and upbringing, has the opportunity to get the skills and training they need to get on in life. Tech levels and certificates in schools, Traineeships, Apprenticeships, National Colleges, Institutes of Technology and proposed technical education reforms set out in the Skills Plan, present real opportunities for people of all ages to acquire the high quality skills and vocational or technical education that employers demand. Opportunity Areas will be at the forefront of my Department’s drive to increase opportunities for young people to develop the skills they need to succeed.
