1a. Sumarise entlitement and provision for Early Years education.

This came to practise in 2006 and it states that every 3 and 4 year old child has the right to a free part time education(up to 15 hours a week for 38 weeks a year). This came to action as it was recognized the importance of learning through play for young children and to prepare for school when they are 5.
In Wales the early years stretch from 3 to 7 years old while in Scotland children moved on to Primary 1(which is the equivalent of Reception in England) only when they are prepared to do so. Knowledge is an important criteria in this decision.

1c. post 16 options for young people and adults

The government decided on giving 16 years old and young people different options after leaving the mandatory school education, these are:
Full or part time education in schools, college or 6th forms.
Opportunity of getting an apprenticeship
Entry of employment, E2E
Employment that will provide a training to NVQ level
This is because in 2013 the education leaving age rose to 17 and in 2015 will rise to 18. This decision was based in the fact that the government carried out a research in which shows that young people who carry on learning or training until the age of 18 earn more money and are likely to be healthier and less likely to be in trouble with the police.

2a. understand how schools are organised in terms of roles and resposabililties ,
