<p>At present 15-17 year olds in young offender institutions (YOIs) receive an average
of only 12 hours contracted education a week. We have recently set out our plans for
transforming youth custody and putting education at the heart of detention, and at
the same time launched a competition for new education contracts in public sector
YOIs which will more than double the time spend young people spend in education. In
addition, we are seeking to put education at the heart of the YOI regime by bringing
the head teacher overseeing education into the senior management team of the establishment.</p>
