Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to publish a new careers strategy for England.

The careers strategy, published in 2017, set out the department’s long-term plan to achieve a high-functioning national careers system that is available to all, regardless of background. The subsequent careers measures announced in the 2021 Skills for Jobs and 2022 Schools white papers focus on continuing to meet these goals.

The department will set out future priorities for the careers system in England as part of our response to the conclusions of the current Education Select Committee inquiry into careers, which is due to report in 2023.
