Children and Young People’s Strategic Indicators

Synopsis: In 2006 the former Office of the First and deputy First Minister published Our Children and Young People – Our Pledge: A ten-year strategy for children and young people in Northern Ireland 2006-2016. The strategy aimed to ensure that, by 2016 ‘all our children and young people are fulfilling their potential’. It set out five high level outcomes, each of which included a number of indicators. This briefing paper considers a number of the educational indicators within the ‘enjoying, learning and achieving’ outcome, based on this data. It also employs other data from the Department of Education, including school performance data.
