This Report by the Forum begins with a review of progress in relation to the recommendations of its 1997 Report on Early School Leavers and Youth Unemployment, (Report No. 11). It then examines, in particular, the policy impact of these and their relevance in the context of the major changes since then in the labour market and their policy implications for addressing early school leaving.
The Report was prepared by The Project Team on Early School Leaving drawn from the Forum’s membership organisations. The Team sought public submissions through advertisement in the national press, and met with a range of key organisations and individuals involved in the provision of services to those at-risk of early school leaving or who have already left formal schooling. It also consulted with policy-makers and with early school leavers themselves.
The recommendations cover a wide range of detailed and actionable policy issues, for which the effective implementation will require active support and involvement of all stake-holders including young people, parents, teachers, schools, the social partners and the wider community at large.
Each section of the document has a critical review of the 1997 Report. This is interspersed with The Forum Report team’s recommendations – making them very accessible to the reader
