The government should create a new minister for skills and youth employment role that is shared between the Departments for Education and Work and Pensions to help tackle the NEET crisis, a think tank has said.
The recommendation was made in the ‘Finding a NEET solution’ report by the education and skills think tank EDSK, which was published today.
EDSK’s paper said that on current trends it will take over 150 years before there are no longer any young people who are ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET) in England.
