	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2018 answer text <p>Higher education institutions (HEIs) are independent and have autonomy over which courses to deliver (such as Youth Work courses). It is the government’s role to help ensure that the higher education (HE) sector as a whole is responsive to, and able to, deliver demand for HE provision.</p><p>Whilst we do not hold accurate course figures, first degree entrants into Youth Work studies at UK HEIs have decreased by 26% between the period 2013 to 2014 and the period 2016 to 2017.</p><p>Through our regulatory reforms, we have established the Office for Students (OfS). This is a new regulator for the HE sector, and it has student choice at the heart of its agenda. OfS has introduced tools like the Teaching Excellence and Students Outcomes Framework and Longitudinal Education Outcomes data. These tools will put more information into the hands of prospective students. They will also allow students to better understand which course is right for them and the outcomes delivered by various courses at different institutions.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 09/10/2018 15:49:55 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>Local authorities do not have direct responsibility for providing careers advice and work experience to young people. Responsibility was devolved to schools in 2012, when they were given a legal duty to secure independent careers guidance for years 8-13 pupils. Statutory guidance underpins this duty and makes clear that schools should offer work placements, work experience and other employer-based activities as part of their careers programme.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has established The Careers &amp; Enterprise Company to improve opportunities for young people to learn about the world of work. There are now 2,019 Enterprise Advisers appointed in the Company’s Enterprise Adviser Network, connecting with just under 2,000 schools and colleges to improve young people’s, careers and enterprise strategies and engagement with employers.</p><p> </p><p>Local councils continue to play an important role in supporting young people to participate in education or training. They ensure that 16 and 17 year olds have agreed post-16 plans and have received an offer of a suitable place in post-16 education or training under the ‘September Guarantee’, and that they are assisted to take up a place. Schools work closely with local councils to identify those at risk of not participating post-16.</p><p> </p><p>We will publish a careers strategy this year, with a clear focus on social mobility. We have worked with a number of external partners, including the Local Government Association, to examine best practice and develop proposals to improve the quality and coverage of careers guidance.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 16/11/2017 12:15:27 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
