To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate the department has made of the number and proportion of young people who are not in education, employment or training who have dyslexia.
The independent Office for National Statistics estimate that there are 981,000 16-24 year-olds not in education, employment and training, down 30,000 (0.5% points) on the quarter. The DWP does not hold data on what proportion of young people not in education, employment or training have dyslexia.
With around one million young people not in education, employment and training, this Government will not leave an entire generation of young people behind.
The Government is investing an additional £2.5 billion by 2029 into the Youth Guarantee and the Growth and Skills Levy. This investment will support almost one million young people and create up to 500,000 opportunities to earn and learn, including through expanded network of Youth Hubs, earlier intensive support in Jobs Centres through a new Youth Guarantee Gateway, additional work experience and training opportunities, a £3,000 Youth Jobs Grant and £2,000 apprenticeship hiring payment for employers, and a fully funded six month job for long-term unemployed 18–24-year-olds.
We also recognise the crisis of participation that Alan Milburn has so clearly laid out in his interim report. We will use this interim report to continue to build our reforms and look forward to final recommendations in the Autumn.
To ask His Majesty's Government what categories of information are collected or processed by the Department for Education’s Risk of NEET Indicator tool to identify young people at risk of becoming not in education, employment or training.
To ask His Majesty's Government what categories of information are collected or processed by the Department for Education’s Risk of NEET Indicator tool to identify young people at risk of becoming not in education, employment or training.
The government is taking forward a range of measures to prevent young people from becoming not in education employment or training (NEET), including improving identification, tracking and data sharing.
The department’s Risk of NEET Indicator tool brings together a range of indicators associated with an increased risk of becoming NEET. These include special educational needs and disabilities, attendance in alternative provision, mental health needs, care experience, Children in Need status, youth offending, caring responsibilities, parenthood or pregnancy, refugee / asylum-seeker status, substance misuse, exclusion from school or poor attendance, and eligibility for free school meals.
The tool is intended to support local authorities and their partners in the early identification of young people who may require additional support to participate and remain engaged in education, employment or training.

With over around one million young people not in education, employment and training, this Government will not leave an entire generation of young people behind. The Government is investing an additional £2.5 billion over the next three years by 2029 into the Youth Guarantee and the Growth and Skills Levy.
This investment will support almost one million young people and create up to 500,000 opportunities to earn and learn, including through expanded network of Youth Hubs, earlier intensive support in Jobs Centres through a new Youth Guarantee Gateway, additional work experience and training opportunities, a £3,000 Youth Jobs Grant and £2,000 apprenticeship hiring payment for employers, and a fully funded six month job for long-term unemployed 18–24-year-olds.

The Department regularly engages with international partners to share best practice. In June, my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State visited the Netherlands to learn more about how it has maintained a low youth NEET rate through discussions with employers, stakeholders and Dutch government counterparts.

Getting young people into work is vital for driving growth in every postcode. Higher youth participation helps expand the workforce, reduce the risk of long-term detachment from the labour market and unlock economic potential across the country.
The Government acknowledges that there are significant challenges facing young people in the world of work. These challenges have been building for some time, with the number of young people not in employment, education or training (NEET) rising by over 100,000 in the last five years of the previous Government. We have also seen a growing challenge from ill health.
That is why the Government is investing £2.5 billion over the next three years in the Youth Guarantee and Growth and Skills Levy, supporting almost one million young people and creating up to 500,000 opportunities to earn and learn. Alongside this, Alan Milburn's independent review is examining the drivers of rising youth inactivity and identifying potential areas for reform. The Government will consider the review's recommendations carefully when it is published in the autumn.
That this House commemorates with pride the 90th anniversary of the Jarrow Crusade; commends the 200 proud and courageous marchers who set off from Jarrow for London on 5 October 1936 to deliver their petition to Parliament; recognises that the marchers sought to be seen as orderly, responsible and dignified people who deserved the right to work and to provide for their families; acknowledges the hardship and deprivation endured by the people of Jarrow during the Great Depression; further recognises the extraordinary pride, solidarity and togetherness which the Crusade inspired and which remain central to the town’s identity today; pays tribute to the people of Jarrow and the town’s Member of Parliament Ellen Wilkinson, who united in a determined and peaceful effort to demand that the authorities listen to their community; regrets that Parliament and the Government of the day failed to respond positively to the marchers’ plea for employment and did not treat their cause with the respect it deserved; celebrates the 290-mile march as a powerful symbol of community strength, dignity and determination in the face of adversity; and further pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the Jarrow Crusade, which continues to inspire pride in Jarrow and has secured the town a lasting place in the history of social justice and the fight for the right to work.

I thank Alan Milburn for his commitment to our young people. This is one of our country’s biggest challenges, and I agree with him that education is “the faltering foundation”. Our current system is leaving too many behind. Countries that combine high academic standards with quality technical education boast low NEET rates, which is why I am determined to make this country a technical education superpower.

I associate myself with your comments, Mr Speaker, and those of the Secretary of State.
Figures quoted today by the BBC suggest that as many as one in five young people in education may not be attending college courses regularly, so the situation may be even worse than outlined in the Milburn report. While I welcome the Secretary of State’s commitment to a fundamental encouragement of technical education, does she think we are approaching a crisis and that we need to rethink exactly what it is that will engage our young people in education, because they are not getting from it what they need to feel prepared for their future life? If so, how will she go about that?

I thank the hon. Lady for her question. I think she is one of the most frequent contributors to Education questions, as she was to business questions when I was Leader of the House, and I look forward to continuing to debate these issues with her. She is right that attendance, inclusion and—critically—engagement are pivotal to this issue, which is why we need to look not just at the curriculum and the new qualifications that young people can gain, but at ensuring they have the passport they need for life, and are engaged and want to go to school or college every day.
