Patrick Ainley argues that raising the participation age to 18 has served to divide young people into two official categories: ‘students’ or ‘apprentices’. The division produces a ‘vocational’ curriculum in schools from aged 14+ that will result in the marginalisation of young people who fail to embark on the academic route. He argues that new vocational route will achieve a permanently marginalised minority, a reconstituted reserve army of labour, in permanently insecure, often-part time, unskilled and low-paid jobs. He argues the so called ‘youth skills problem’ is an economic problem for which education can no longer be substituted as a solution.
