More Choices, More Chances
There are too many young people in Scotland who are not in education, employment or training.
The Government's More Choices, More Chances strategy aims to address this in five ways:
- by ensuring that Curriculum for Excellence provides opportunities to young people that are tailored to individual need, with flexibility and appropriate support for every young person.
- by ensuring that every young person has a clear pathway from school into learning post-16 as per the 16+ Learning Choices Policy and Practice Framework with supported transitions and sustained opportunities.
- by ensuring that learning is a financially viable option, by considering the financial support and incentives available to young people
- by ensuring that the right support is available to the most vulnerable young people to find out about, engage with and sustain learning and employment
- by making a joint commitment to action between central and local government, employers, learning providers and support agencies to develop the service infrastructure required to meet the needs of vulnerable young people.
All of these actions are about ensuring that young people are able to access the universal services from which they should benefit, aligning mainstream systems to cater for all young people including those who need additional support.
