HC Deb 21 March 1994 vol 240 cc60-1W
Mr. Rooker

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will bring forward proposals to ensure that all school pupils have a right of access to information about all post-16 courses available in their locality.

Mr. Boswell

Under the Education Act 1993, maintained schools, and city technology colleges, are now required to distribute to their year 11 pupils information published and supplied to them by local colleges. This complemented by the guidance on the whole range of post-16 options in the publication "It's Your Choice", and by information on school and college performance in the comparative tables published by the Department.
