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 pursue their own interests for leisure. All types of learning are important for an inclusive society.
Considerations
Ensuring that everyone, in particular, our children and young people, have access to good quality education, 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; and the extent to which our education and training is aligned to current and future potential growth sectors and to the interests and aspirations of our residents and communities.
People should have fair and equal access to skill development opportunities. It's important to ensure these opportunities are accessible to our diverse communities and to address any discrimination or societal barriers that may hinder people's potential to succeed.
Outcome
Improved levels of skills for all to flourish and realise their potential.
