Ioan Morgan: I think colleges are very successful where they try to prevent young people getting to the stage where they are not in education, employment or training. It is pre-NEET activity that is important, and that is about partnership with schools. There are some very effective examples in our sector, with intervention at 14. A college like my own has nearly 1,000 14-year-olds attending two days a week, and the transformation and our success in keeping them away from entering that NEETs group is very significant. Further education is doing a really powerful job in that area.
