The Education Maintenance Allowance scheme is a funding arrangement in place in the UK to pay students to stay on in education. The report confirms the positive impact the scheme has had in encouraging some students to stay in education after their period of compulsory schooling. But at the same time the report emphasises that the funding alone does not always keep them on the course and highlights some of the reasons for 'drop outs'.
Good report, easy to read and understand, highlights some useful early 'key findings' after the introduction of the scheme.
