00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:03.200
Why are so many young people at the moment out

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.730
of work or struggling to find work? The number

00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:08.810
of young people in our country who are not in

00:00:08.810 --> 00:00:11.130
education, employment, or training is far too high

00:00:11.329 --> 00:00:13.970
, and that's why we're taking action on school attendance

00:00:14.009 --> 00:00:15.648
, because we know that if children drop out of

00:00:15.648 --> 00:00:18.129
school and aren't there regularly, that does then feed

00:00:18.129 --> 00:00:20.728
through into the numbers of children longer term who aren't

00:00:20.728 --> 00:00:23.135
in employment or training. We've launched. Youth guarantee

00:00:23.135 --> 00:00:26.135
to support young people back into work and alongside that

00:00:26.214 --> 00:00:28.655
, the changes we're making to the curriculum system and

00:00:28.655 --> 00:00:31.475
also new apprenticeship routes will provide young people with more

00:00:31.475 --> 00:00:33.973
opportunities to be in work, to learn and to

00:00:33.973 --> 00:00:35.734
make a contribution, but this is a really big

00:00:35.734 --> 00:00:38.594
challenge that we've inherited and we're determined to grasp it
