More teenagers are leaving school without any qualifications. That's according to Ministry of Education figures which show 15 percent of students who finished school last year did not achieve any level of NCEA. The Ministry blames the increase from 11 per cent in 2019 on more students leaving school before they turn 17 and fewer schools offering a full NCEA level 1 course. Secondary Principals Association president Vaughan Couillault spoke to Guyon Espiner.

However, a suicide of a mutal friend who was struggling the transition to teritay eductation would lead them to the idea of creating an organisation that would assist school leavers through the process.From its humble beginnings as a blog and information portal, Year13 is now a hub for those leaving school: from job offerings, to education opportunities and resources, to even conducting their own studies on the attitudes, feelings, frictions, and hopes of those going through the highschool-to-tertiary transition.Get all the links mentioned in the episode here: bit.ly/244-SaxonPhipps-WilliamStubleySKIP THROUGH THE EPISODE:00:24 - Guest introduction00:32 - How Will broke his foot in the Amazon07:46 - Earliest childhood memories11:19 - Meeting each other & why they started Year1315:12 - The pressure on highschool graduates26:33 - Why does negative scaling exist?31:40 - Better systems: scaling41:52 - What is Year13?44:39 - Tim Ferris appreciation corner46:08 - The Year13 recommended reading list49:59 - Did the Greeks invent the doughnut51:30 - The Year13 impact01:00:30 - Understanding Gen Z01:02:26 - Best purchase under $20001:03:35 - Their ideal billboard

More school leavers are training to become builders, electricians and plumbers: apprenticeships in traditional trades have nearly doubled in the past year.Data from the Ministry of Education shows the number of new apprentices under the age of 18 jumped from 460 in the six months from August 2019 to 810 for the same period in 2020.This is supported by Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) data for enrolments in tertiary and vocational study that shows a 17.6 per cent increase from December 2019 to December 2020. The total numbers went from 45,155 in 2019 and 57,035 in 2020.Some students are also leaving earlier in Year 12, rather than the final year of school, to train on the job in their chosen field.The increase is a step in the right direction according to training institutes BCITO and The Skills Organisation. Demand for skills tradespeople is high and a skills shortage expected in the coming years.Burnside High School in Christchurch saw a jump in the number of Year 13 students pursuing apprenticeships from one student in 2019 to 14 in 2020.Principal Phil Holstein said eight school leavers went on to apprenticeships in building or electrical and six went on to study building and construction Ara Institute of Canterbury.There was also a spike in the number of Year 12 students who left to pursue the trades in 2020. Ten left school for the trades with two going into apprenticeships and eight leaving school to study building and construction at Ara.Holstein said there was a growing acceptance of an apprenticeship pathway as a choice for education, employment, and future opportunities.When he joined the school five years ago a student leaving in Year 12 to become an apprentice was considered "dropping out". Those leaving for an apprenticeship in Year 13 were seen as "having a gap year"."Now, students are proud to announce that they have work, or they have an apprenticeship."The school offered a Dual Enrolment programme which allowed senior students to split their time between school and a trade-specific tertiary provider.These students typically sign up for an apprenticeship on completion of their DE.At St Peter's College in Auckland, the number of Year 12 boys leaving school to go into skilled trades has doubled from four to eight since 2019.Principal James Bentley said Government incentives such as Apprenticeship Boost, which gave financial assistance to employers, had helped boost numbers."Apprentice Boost has opened the door and also parents are eager for their sons and daughters to have stability in their career path.""They want them to take the opportunity now because in 12 months' time it might not be there."Bentley said ideally students would stay until the end of Year 13 because of the added academic and social benefits to finishing school."We like to teach the students about giving back to the school community which they do in their final year but that being said we don't want to stand in the way if someone is presented with a fantastic opportunity.""If there is a great option with an apprenticeship in the trades then we say go for it."A paid apprenticeship meant avoiding a hefty student loan and gave on-the-job training Bentley said."For some of these young men and women, they end up fully qualified at 20-21 years of age with no student debt."They have the rest of their working lives ahead of them which puts them in a pretty amazing position."Schools nationwide reported the same pattern with most seeing at least a doubling in the number leaving for apprenticeships.Mt Albert Grammar principal Patrick Drumm said there had been a steady increase in school leavers pursuing a trade. Last year there were 31, up from 12 three years earlier."We encourage them to stay until the end of year 13 but if a door opens for them and it is the right opportunity then they are encouraged," Drumm said.The school works closely with parents and any future employer to ensure the circumstances are beneficial....

The number of teenagers leaving school without a qualification is creeping up and last year reached levels not seen since 2014. New figures show nearly 7500 or 12 percent of last year's school leavers did not have any level of the NCEA or an equivalent qualification. That's up from 11 percent in 2018. At some schools more than 30 percent of the students who left last year had no qualification and principals are worried the trend may be growing. Here's RNZ education correspondent, John Gerritsen.

The number of teenagers leaving school with no qualification rose for the second consecutive year in 2019, with boys and Māori worst off. Education Ministry figures show 12 percent of last year's school leavers did not have an NCEA qualification, up from 11 percent in 2018. The group represented 7464 of more than 61,000 young people who left school last year and numbered several hundred more than in 2018. Deidre Shea from the Secondary Principals Association told RNZ education correspondent John Gerritsen the figures are worrying.

With New Zealand officially in recession will school-leavers lose-out while universities benefit? Longitudinal research from the UK suggests recession-era school-leavers face life-long difficulties finding and keeping a job; and have lower earning potential. Kathryn Ryan speaks with Nick Hillman, director of the UK's Higher Education Policy Institute. Nick says when young people struggle to find work, universities can expect an increase in domestic students, while graduates may decide to continue-on with their studies instead of braving stiff competition for jobs.

Did you leave school early? Or do you know someone who might? Leaving school without qualifications may seem a personal choice, yet around 6.4 million young people in Europe are in the same situation. School can seem too difficult or irrelevant and other problems may make walking out seem like the thing to do. Yet young people who leave school early are less likely to find a job, will probably earn less, might miss out on some benefits of technology, and can have more health problems later on.
