Evaluation of Education Allowance Pilots: young people aged 16 to 19 years
online resource
posted on 2006-11-14, 11:07 authored by Sue Middleton, Kim Perren, Sue Maguire, Joanne Rennison, Erich Battistin, Carl Emmerson, Emla FitzsimmonsThis is the fourth and final report of the longitudinal quantitative evaluation of the
Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) pilots. The evaluation was commissioned
by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) from a consortium of research
organisations, led by the Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP), and including
the National Centre for Social Research, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the
National Institute for Careers Education and Counselling (NICEC).
The main aims of the evaluation were to assess the impact of the EMA pilots on
participation, retention and achievement in post-16 full-time education. The pilots
were introduced because of policy concerns about participation rates in post-16
education, particularly among young men and those from lower socio-economic
groups, the proportion of young people who were not in education, employment or
training (NEET) after the end of compulsory education, and low rates of retention in
education at 17 and 18 years of age (Chapter 1.1). EMA was rolled out nationally in
2004 (Chapter 1.2).
