Inclusive Growth Framework Fundamentals
Education and learning
Summary
Education and learning opportunities are important for everyone at any age, to enable them to flourish and reach their potential. From giving children and young people the best start in life, to providing opportunities for working aged and older adults to gain new skills, retrain for a new job or just pursue their own interests for leisure. All types of learning are important for an inclusive society.
Considerations
For our children and young people, it is worth considering the extent to which they can attend a good or outstanding school, to study the subjects that they want to, and the extent to which their training and the careers advice offered gives them the aspirations, skills, and knowledge to flourish and fully realise their potential.
For working aged and older adults, considerations include the extent to which our education and training is aligned to current and future potential growth sectors and to their interests and aspirations.
These have equality dimensions, for instance, in whether such opportunities are accessible to our diverse communities and whether discrimination and other societal factors limit the potential for people to succeed.
Outcome
Improved levels of skills for all to flourish and realise their potential.
