Ireland is not part of the UK. They’d be very upset, rightly so, if you even suggested they are.

This post has nothing to do with the UK.

Let’s not get fixated on the employment part. There’s also not being in further education. And also not being in training (like an apprenticeship for example).

If you could identify a child that would later on in life struggle to either be in further education or training you’d help them, right?

The solution is more resources per child with constant evaluation and alteration of the system and what it offers, it really is that simple.

That sounds like what this is aimed at doing. Did you read somewhere that all they are doing is putting kids on a naughty list?

Without knowing what they plan to do with children that are identified it is hard to say much more. But the point of school, surely, should be to prepare children for their future such that they can function in a society.

Imagine what you would be doing if you’re later in life classed as being Not in Employment, Education, or Training for anything (what is known as NEET). That doesn’t sound like a very fulfilling life. Giving people extra help such that they can go onto further education, or training for a skill (even if you take umbridge to the word employment) is surely a good thing.

What would you have happen to these children? If you could identify clear markers at an early age?

I decided, against my better judgement, to actually read past the headline 😉.

This follows on from some research that indicates kids are three times more likely to fall into unemployment after they leave school based on some indicators at an early age. So the idea is that these children get extra help to make sure they don’t end up in a lifetime of joblessness. Wouldn’t this be similar to spotting kids that are struggling with English or Maths at an early age to help them before it is too late?

Somehow according to Lemmy this is a bad thing 🤷

What exactly is lemmy.ml?

The hacker known as lemmy.ml is a highly dangerous individual.

And how would I block it?

Just pray 🙏.

Yikes sounds like a nightmare. I hope you managed to get some sleep!
