Youth attainment and transitions

On 11 January 2013 Minister for School Education, Peter Garrett welcomed the release of the second Evaluation Report under the National Partnership for Youth Attainment and Transitions. The report shows Australian students are staying in school longer to achieve Year 12 or vocational education and training (VET) qualifications under the National Partnership (NP) on Youth Attainment and Transitions (YAT).

ABOUT THE NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP – YOUTH ATTAINMENT & TRANSITION
The National Partnership on Youth Attainment and Transitions supports getting more young people to complete their Year 12 or equivalent qualification and halving the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in receiving these qualifications.

The National Partnership on Youth Attainment and Transitions was established to support two main goals:

• to increase the amount of young people completing their Year 12 or equivalent qualification
• to halve the gap in young people completing year 12 or an equivalent qualification between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within ten years
