Effective transitions for Year 8 sudents
17-August-2007
Based on fieldwork conducted in Lancashire between May and October 2006, the findings of this research indicate that gaps remain in provision for Year 7, 8 and 9 students. This has implications in light of the curriculum and qualification reforms introduced as part of the 14-19 Education and Skills White Paper (DfES, 2005), which will see young people choosing personalised pathways that suit them and form the basis for their progression. With increased choice and complexity, young people need good quality information, advice and guidance (IAG) to ensure they are effectively equipped with the skills they need; however, in the absence of a clear strategy and curriculum for careers education and guidance (CEG), they supplement their knowledge and understanding from unmediated sources including family and friends. The full Occasional Paper can be downloaded from the CeGS website at www.derby.ac.uk/cegs
A date for your diaries! A Central Guidance Research Forum (CGRF) seminar at the University of Derby on Thursday 15th November 2007 will further explore parental influence on young people's transitions. The seminar, entitled 'Parents: A Positive Influence to Career Decisions?', will present a thematic review across a range of recent research projects undertaken by the Centre. This event is free to attend - please contact CeGS for further information.
