The Government’s Education and Skills Bill got its second reading last month. A key part of this Bill is that it seeks to raise to 18 the minimum age at which young people can leave education or training.
The largest impact that the Bill is expected to have is to increase the participation in apprenticeships. Indeed, the Government’s prediction is that there will be 100,000 more apprentices by 2013 – not all in engineering, of course.
