The Welsh Assembly Government is committed to ensuring that 95% of young people by the age of 25 will be ready for high skilled employment or higher education by 2015. The development of the 14 – 19 Learning Pathways is key to achieving this commitment.
The initiative essentially aims to provide all young people with the opportunity to develop in an academic or vocational field to fulfil their full potential. Schools, the further education sector and the business sector have been asked to work together to provide a variety of opportunities for young people to access the type of education and training that best suits them. Each young person is entitled to a learning coach to help them develop their learning pathway. In order to achieve this local authorities have developed Learning Networks which bring together key stakeholders to take the program forward and to provide a strategic lead.
