We will not let economic
We will not let economic disadvantage stand in the way of young people
staying in education beyond the age of 16.We have rolled out
Educational Maintenance Allowances, providing lower income students
with a £30-a-week staying-on allowance.We believe that everyone
up to the age of 19 should be learning, so we will expand
sixth-form, college and apprenticeship places, and ensure that all 16-
to 19-year-olds in employment get access to training.
