<p>The government wants to see improvements to the extent and quality of the careers
advice, guidance and inspiration that young people receive throughout their education,
helping them to be better prepared for the world of work and able to take advantage
of the opportunities available to them. Children who can see the relationship between
what they are learning and the possibilities it opens up for them in later life are
likely to be far more motivated to achieve and we are committed to broadening their
aspirations to do this.</p><p> </p><p>It is not easy for children of primary age to
make a connection between what they learn in the classroom and how it relates to the
world of work. The government is delighted to support Primary Futures, a programme
which is intended to change that. The national initiative, led by the Education and
Employers Taskforce and the National Association of Head Teachers, enables volunteers
from a wide range of professions to visit primary schools to inspire pupils.</p><p>
