Simon Hughes writes… Educational Maintenance Allowance: a grown-up replacement

March 28, 2011 12:35 PM

• Simon Hughes writes: ONE of the first tasks which the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minster gave me when they appointed me to the job of Advocate for Access to Education was to advise on the replacement for the Educational Maintenance Allowance. Since then I have travelled across the country to listen to young adults in school and further education colleges about how they think students should be supported in education.

. . The government will now have a short consultation on its plans. I would encourage all with an interest in this area to respond to the consultation, which can be accessed through the Department for Education's website.

P.S. To catch up with all I am doing on education, or to participate, please go to my website http://simonhughes.independent.gov.uk/
