BACK TO SCHOOL WEEK

Early day motion 519, tabled 12 September 2013 by Lord Brady of Altrincham (Conservative). Signed by 29 members.

That this House congratulates all those who will take part in the charity Future First's Back to School week between 12 and 19 October 2013; notes that young people at state schools and colleges often lack the same level of careers education and access to role models available to young people at private institutions; warmly welcomes the work of Future First in tackling this problem by establishing alumni networks for young people at state schools and colleges so that they are informed and inspired to follow fulfilling careers; commends those alumni and employers who have already volunteered to work with Future First; and encourages others to do the same including members of both Houses.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Liberal Democrat 10, Conservative 5, Independent 2.
