ICG Schools Survey Responses |
This year schools in England will take on new responsibilities for career guidance. T he Education Act which comes into force in September 2012 confers a duty on schools to secure access to career guidance, which must be independent and impartial. The overall approach is to free up schools to provide whatever career guidance they feel is in pupils' best interests. But all this has to be met out of existing budgets as no additional funding will be made available to schools. The ICG wanted to find out how schools were planning to respond to these changes so we conducted a survey in the autumn of 2011. A full overview of the survey will shortly be available on the ICG website. In the meantime the major findings are outlined here . The survey is based on responses from 222 schools representing a balanced sample of maintained schools, academies, special schools and independent schools. An overwhelming number of schools said that career guidance was vital with a resounding endorsement for face-to-face guidance. |
