News Summary
- Almost a million of our young people are NEETs – Not in Education, Employment or Training.
- This shameful state of affairs will come under the spotlight today when former Labour Cabinet minister Alan Milburn publishes the interim findings of his independent review.
- Milburn – a sensible, old-school politician of the sort the current Labour administration lacks – is absolutely right when he describes it as an ‘economic catastrophe’ The good news is that there is a way to remedy this tragic situation – and it needn’t cost us billions.
- I know this because I have seen how things can be changed at first hand in Alfreton, Derbyshire, a deprived former coal mining town.
Of the myriad problems facing the UK economy, the worst of all is the number of youngsters who have been consigned to the scrapheap before their working lives have even begun.
