- Build upon the Gifted and Talented strand by extending the gifted and talented programme to 16 to 19 year olds in schools and colleges;
- Increase the proportion of young people remaining in education or training post 16 by raising aspirations and reducing underachievement;
- Improve the links between institutions, colleges and higher education institutions in order to support young people at key transition points; and
