Ms Regan made a specific point from her experience about the type of school that people are attending at such a young age and the influence that has on their development at age 12 or 13 in terms of their skills because if the specific vocational subjects are not in the school and they are interested they are caught and they are being pushed down an academic line that means that maybe when they are 28 or 29 they are coming back in again to find their niche. It might be something that we need to flag earlier or something we need to discuss with the education committee.
