To ask the Secretary of State for Education what proportion of 17 year-olds are participating in education or training in the 2012-13 academic year under the terms of the Education and Skills Act 2008.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education what proportion of 17 year-olds are participating in education or training in the 2012-13 academic year under the terms of the Education and Skills Act 2008.
Under the terms of the Education and Skills Act 2008 young people in England are required to continue in education or training; this can be through:
1. full-time study at a school, college, or with a training provider;
2. full-time work, self-employment or volunteering (all over 20 hours per week) combined with part-time education or training; or
3. an apprenticeship.
We do not currently publish statistics that are fully aligned to these categories. We are examining how data collection could be improved to provide an estimate of this group.

[holding answer 19 March 2013]: Part 1 of the Education and Skills Act 2008 (ESA) places a duty on young people to participate in education or training until they are 18 or have completed a prescribed Level 3 qualification. Section 2 sets out the duty to participate and section 4 sets out the definition of full-time education or training.
We intend to commence the majority of Part 1 of ESA from 28 June 2013 to apply to all young people in England until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17; and from 26 June 2015 to their 18th birthday.
However, we have confirmed that we will not commence two elements of Part 1 of ESA. These are the duties on employers (in chapter 3 of Part 1) and the 'enforcement provisions' for young people who do not participate (in chapters 4 and 5 of Part 1). These will remain on statute and we will keep the need to commence them under review.
The legislation makes provision for some elements to be specified in secondary legislation, including section 4(2) on the definition of full-time education. We carried out a full public consultation on the policy that will underpin the regulations and our response is available at:
http://www.education.gov.uk/childrenandyoungpeople/youngpeople/participation/rpa/a00210946/consultation-response
Copies of this report will be placed in the House Libraries.
The regulations designated under section 4(2) will be laid before Parliament in early summer 2013 and will come into force before 28 June 2013.
