Choosing to Learn: Improving participation after compulsory education

Low rates of participation in post-16 education and training have long been recognised as one of the significant weaknesses in England's learning system. And those who leave education are disproportionately from disadvantaged backgrounds.

In this book, the authors outline an ambitious programme of reforms to help tackle this issue. They argue for a more innovative approach to education and training to offer a high quality learning experience to all young people. The authors then set out a range of practical measures to help all young people choose to learn.
