Weaknesses

• The limited attention attached to career
  guidance, and particularly to contacts with the
  labour market, within the general education part
  of the education system.
• More generally, the fragmented nature of the
  guidance system as a whole arguably, it is not
  currently a system at all, in any meaningful
  sense, but a series of disconnected entities.
• The lack of accountability, monitoring and
  quality assurance this is particularly evident
  in relation to schools, but is an issue in all
  sectors.
• The lack of clarity regarding the role of
  government within a decentralised and marketised
  system
