Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Humfrey Malins (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 9 February 2010 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Education and Training
- Question
- Education and training opportunities, especially for young offenders, are still very poor. At Reading young offenders institution, for example, there are only five hours a week of education and training, and at Rochester only three and a half hours. Why are those figures—they are Government figures—so bad?
- Answer
-
In the YOI estate, we aim for 25 to 30 hours of education and purposeful activity. I realise that outcomes vary across the estate, and we strive to improve that because it is something that can make a difference to the lives of these young people.
