Lessons from history
CfBT Education Trust

CFE was commissioned to work on a project for the CfBT Education Trust entitled Lessons from history: Increasing the number of 16 and 17 year olds in education and training'.

The research was carried out on the basis of:

  • The commitment to increase participation in recognised education and training in England by 16 and 17 year olds
  • The Labour Government commitment to raising the participation age to 17 in 2013, and 18 in 2015
  • The impact of the recession on the 16 to 17 age group which now has the highest unemployment rate (International Labour Organisation measure) than any other
