How does TYS relate to the rest of the Every Child Matters: Change for Children programme?
Youth Matters has the same overall aim as the 14–19 education and skills White Paper and subsequent implementation plan, the Better schools White Paper and the White Paper on further education. These reforms are mutually reinforcing. These proposals, which help schools and colleges strengthen their quality of education and training, are boosted by curriculum and qualifications reforms which engage and challenge more young people, raising participation and achievement. In turn, these reforms are supported by improvements to advice and guidance, helping more young people choose courses which meet their needs and aspirations, and by improvements in youth services which enable more young people to undertake wider activities and overcome barriers to their achievement. Each of these reforms is valuable in its own right. In combination they are an immensely powerful force to better meet the needs of young people. Click for an overview of the change process.
