These pupils have increasingly complex behavioural and social difficulties, including drug and alcohol-related problems. Many of them are involved with juvenile justice and a growing number are under the care of Health and Social Services. A very small, but worrying, number of pupils self-harm and need appropriate counselling support.

All three documents9, while recognising the particular difficulties faced by Northern Ireland in the past, focus on the need for the region to face the future through catching up and competing with strong international economies. In particular, FE Means Business re-affirms the sector’s aims to strengthen economic development, increase its provision in the six skill areas identified as priority, promote Lifelong Learning, enhance social cohesion, and advance the individual’s skills and learning. Over the 2004-06 period, DEL has worked with the sector and other key stakeholders to turn the strategy document into relevant and coherent policies.

In all post-primary inspections, teachers’ questionnaires have been introduced to enable the staff to express their views on their school’s provision. The Inspectorate has also introduced area inspections, initially in the greater Newry and Coleraine areas, with the purpose of assessing the effectiveness, within a defined area, of the provision of education and training for 14-19 year olds in preparing them to progress to further education, training or employment.
