answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2017 answer text <p>This Government is working to make this a country that works for everyone, and education is central to that ambition. The Department’s priority is to ensure our education and skills system enables children, young people and adults, whether in academic or technical education, to go as far as their talents will take them.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks to the Government’s reforms, since 2010 the proportion of children taught in good or outstanding schools has risen from 66% to 86%, which means almost 1.8 million more pupils today have a school place that is good or better. We want to build on this and we have consulted on proposals to create even more good school places, in more parts of the country, by scrapping the ban on new selective school places and by harnessing the expertise and resources of our universities and our independent and faith schools. As well as investing in long-term capacity in the system, from early years to further and higher education, and strengthening the teaching profession, the Department is tackling geographic disadvantage by focusing effort on areas of the country with the greatest challenges and fewest opportunities, including through Opportunity Areas, which are at the vanguard of our approach.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is also making sure our education system as a whole prepares young people and adults for career success, including by investing in careers education, implementing a radical overhaul of technical education backed by the £500m investment announced in Budget 2017, and continuing to improve the quality of apprenticeships, so that they meet the needs of employers.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 14/03/2017 16:26:24 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
