Inclusive schools see fewer young people drop out and become 'NEET'

More inclusive secondary schools see fewer students dropping out of education and becoming "not in education, employment or training" (NEET), according to new research from Leeds academics. Schools that are considered more inclusive because they use fewer suspensions, support lower-achieving pupils to make good progress, and have their own post-16 provision see fewer young people dropping out of education or training after Year 11, the data shows. The study is published in the journal Royal Society Open Science.
