online resource
posted on 2006-11-14, 11:07 authored by Sue Middleton, Sue Maguire, Karl Ashworth, Kate Legge, Tracey Allen, Kim PerrenThis is the third report of the longitudinal quantitative evaluation of Education Maintenance
Allowance (EMA) pilots and the first since the government announced that EMA is to be
rolled out nationally from 2004. The evaluation was commissioned by the Department for
Education and Skills (DfES) from a consortium of research organisations, led by the Centre
for Research in Social Policy (CRSP) and including the National Centre for Social Research, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the National Institute for Careers Education and Counselling (NICEC).
The statistical evaluation design is a longitudinal cohort study involving large random sample surveys of young people (and their parents) in 10 EMA pilot areas and eleven control areas.
Two cohorts of young people were selected from Child Benefit records. The first cohort of
young people left compulsory schooling in the summer of 1999 and they, and their parents,
were interviewed between October 1999 and April 2000 (Year 12 interview). A second
interview was carried out with these young people between October 2000 and April 2001
(Year 13 interview). The second cohort left compulsory education the following summer of
2000 and young people, and their parents, were first interviewed between October 2000 and
April 2001.
