More young people were not in work, education or training at the end of 2024 than at any point in the past 11 years, new data suggests. The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures suggest 987,000 16-24-year-olds were not in work, education or training between October and December. That is 13.4%, or almost one out of every seven people in that age range. The government says every young person will be given the chance to "earn or learn" under its Youth Guarantee initiative.

As the bell rings at St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy in Boston, Lincolnshire, head teacher Mrs Booth spots a little boy coming through the gates with his hood pulled up, crying. "Are you OK?" she asks in a soft voice, taking him to one side. He tells her he's been hit around the head by an adult at home. Domestic violence is not the only issue teachers here are dealing with. Four families at the school are currently homeless. Many are in severe debt.

The rate at which primary school pupils are being suspended from state schools in England has more than doubled in a decade, BBC analysis suggests. Permanent exclusion rates of primary-age pupils have also gone up - by almost 70% in the same period. Campaigners say children excluded from school at a young age experience long-term impacts. The government has acknowledged the situation is at "crisis point", and says it is determined to "drive up standards" in schools.
