The Education Committee examines how to improve careers education in primary and secondary schools amid reports that most institutions are not meeting key benchmarks.
Members will question academy trust and charity representatives on what careers education in primary schools should look like. The session will come days after the Government announced a new school careers programme targeted at 5-8 year olds.
Meeting details
The Committee is expected to explore how to improve provisions for disadvantaged children, who are less likely to receive career support than their peers.
The session is also likely to consider how to improve career guidance for pupils with special educational needs or disabilities, students from ethnic minority backgrounds, and children in the care system.
