3.Thousands of teenagers will be able to transfer to a new wave of"studio schools"at the age of 14to improve their chances of finding a job in UK.A dozen new-style schools are designed to act as a bridge to the workplace and cut the number of NEETs--young people not in education,employment or training.Under plans,schools will operate longer days and work outside standard academic terms.
Each pupil will be expected to spend between four hours and two days a week on work placements with businesses linked to the school and teenagers will be assigned a personal coach to act as an academic"line manager".
The reforms are put forward due to the fears that too many teenagers are now finishing full-time education lacking the skills needed to succeed in the workplace.According to a recent report,more than two-thirds of employers believe school and college leavers lack important"employability skills"such as customer awareness,while 55per cent say they are unable to manage their time or daily tasks.And the number of NEETs has hit a record high,with almost one-in-five young people being left without a job or training place.
The Department for Education will announce the establishment of 12studio schools--meeting the need of around 3,600teenagers--in areas such as Liverpool,Stevenage,Stoke-on-Trent and Fulham,west London.Each one,opening in 2012,will be linked to a series of local employers.Under plans,pupils will be able to transfer out of ordinary schools to attend them between the age of 14and 19.
The Government said all subjects would be taught"through projects,often designed with employers"--with disciplines such as science being linked directly to local engineering firms or hospitals.Schools will operate a longer day to give pupils a better understanding of the demands of the workplace.Along with their studies,pupils will carry out work placements for four hours a week,rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16to 19.They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications linked directly to the needs of local employers.
