Abstract

Abstract The paper outlines some of the survey results of the ESRC, 16‐19 Initiative particularly as they relate to the Liverpool sample. These illustrate a number of ways in which the responses of the Liverpool sample are atypical when compared to those from Kirkcaldy, Sheffield and Swindon. Attitudes towards vocational training programmes show a growing level of cynicism with age. Against these findings, the results of two interventionist projects are presented. The first of these, the TVEI, 16‐18 Enrichment Project is aimed at students on the traditional sixth‐form academic track into higher education; the second is an attempt to use open learning in YTS. The findings are related to recent socio‐political and educational changes.
