Recommendation 33
33
Acknowledged
Paragraph: 126
Pilot programmes for disadvantaged pupils risk creating a postcode lottery of CEIAG support.
Conclusion
It is essential that disadvantaged pupils and those from minority ethnic backgrounds receive high-quality CEIAG provision and have access to the full range of opportunities available to their peers. While the Department and the CEC’s approach of trialling programmes in local areas is a sensible way of testing policy proposals and prioritising disadvantage, this risks creating a postcode lottery of support and is not a long-term solution to reducing the disadvantage gap in CEIAG provision.
Government response summary AI-generated
