	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2014 answer text <p>The government's aim is to ensure that young people are equipped with the skills, experience and qualifications that employers want. The introduction of 16-19 study programmes will expand the provision of genuine work experience and work-related learning for all post-16 students. We have invested in new apprenticeships that are more employer-led than ever before, and introduced traineeships to give young people the skills and experience they need to compete successfully for a job. From September 2014, the Tech Level qualifications will provide a high-quality vocational alternative to A levels, leading to a recognised occupation.</p><p>These and other reforms arising from Professor Alison Wolf's 2011 review of vocational education have led to far-reaching improvements in vocational education. These include employer recognition of qualifications and simplified and better-funded arrangements for work experience.</p><p>Our reforms to GCSEs and A levels will secure rigorous, challenging qualifications which are responsive to the needs of students and employers. New GCSEs in English and mathematics, which will provide greater assurance of literacy and numeracy, will be taught from September 2015, with the first examinations in summer 2017.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 01/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2014 answer text <p>The Government is giving more schools greater flexibility to adapt the shape of the school year in the interests of their pupils' education.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst this will extend an existing flexibility to a greater number of schools, our advice will continue to include a clear expectation of schools working with each other and the local authority to coordinate dates to avoid unnecessary disruption to parents and their employers.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has consulted with representatives of the tourist industry. Where schools choose to change their holiday dates, following discussion locally with parents and local businesses, there may well be a positive impact on seaside economies. In areas of high-seasonal employment, for example, small variations to term dates agreed locally may help parents to holiday outside of peak periods.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 27/06/2014 15:33:50 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

This current position follows a public consultation seeking evidence on the information needs for the 2021 Census which generated nearly 1,100 responses</p><p><br>ONS recognise that &quot;there is a clear need for information on the armed forces community&quot; but currently considers that it would be better to make use of existing administrative data than ask a question of all 26 million households in England and Wales in 2021. ONS will be working with the Ministry of Defence and other relevant agencies across government to consider a range of options to best meet the user need.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 31/05/2016 09:24:05 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
