On average, young people who complete Year 12 tend to have more successful transitions from education to work than those who do not. However, in recent years there has been a realisation that it does not make much sense to promote Year 12 retention for its own sake. Year 12 traditionally has been more suited to those of an academic bent, and it is likely that other students will not benefit to the same extent as their more academic peers from staying at school in Year 12. The focus on broadening alternatives for those less interested in the Year 12 to university route is clearly apparent in current policy discussions. No longer are targets expressed in terms of the numbers completing Year 12; they are now defined as "Year 12 or its vocational equivalent," although this begs the question of what are the vocational equivalents? Irrespective of the terminology, there is a range of distinct pathways that can be seen as genuine alternatives to completing secondary school. In particular, a student may leave school and undertake an apprenticeship or a traineeship, or go to a TAFE (technical and further education) institution to undertake a vocational certificate. While this policy trend makes good sense, is it going to have the desired outcomes? The aim of Chris Ryan's study is to answer this question by looking at data from the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY), although, as he points out, this is not a straightforward task. A simple tabulation of outcomes is not convincing, because the students undertaking one route are different from those undertaking another. Furthermore, the fact that some students benefit from undertaking Year 12 does not necessarily mean that all students will. LSAY has a broad range of background characteristics that enable individuals to analyse the data in a more sophisticated way, so that the outcomes of Year 12 and the other pathways can legitimately be compared. This paper presents an overview of Chris Ryan's research, "Year 12 Completion and Youth Transitions." (Contains 2 tables.) [For related report, "Year 12 Completion and Youth Transitions.

On average, young people who complete Year 12 tend to have more successful transitions from education to work than those who do not. Hence everyone has seen numerous governments introduce policies that promote Year 12 completion. However, in recent years there has been a realisation that it does not make much sense to promote Year 12 retention for its own sake. No longer are targets expressed in terms of the numbers completing Year 12; now the targets are in terms of Year 12 or its equivalent. While this policy trend makes good sense, is it going to have the desired outcomes? The aim of this study is to answer this question by looking at data from the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY). The author employs a range of econometric techniques to account for these difficulties, focusing on those who do not complete Year 12 and continue on to further full-time tertiary education study. He defines a set of education pathways according to whether the individual is an early school leaver or not and whether the individual undertakes further education and training (including apprenticeships and traineeships). He also rates success through a number of outcomes; these include a number of labour market and study variables over the transition years. Key messages of this study include: (1) For males, Year 12 completion provides a better transition relative to other pathways, the exception being an apprenticeship. However, the superiority of an apprenticeship is conditional on obtaining one. Obtaining the type of certificate II or III available to young people in these data was not as effective on average as completing Year 12; (2) For females, completing Year 12 clearly provides the best outcomes, followed by the completion of a traineeship, and the completion of an apprenticeship (female apprentices tend to be either hairdressers or cooks). Of the other pathways, completing a certificate III is the best and completing a certificate II the worst; and (3) Sample attrition does not materially affect the analysis. The following appendix tables are included: (1) Estimated Year 12 completion effects: least squares estimates, Y95 and Y98 (separate regressions for each cohort); (2) Estimated Year 12 and VET qualification completion equation results; (3) Estimated Year 12 completion effects: reweighted estimates; (4) Estimated Year 12 completion effects: propensity-score-matching estimates; (5) Full regression estimates: full-time employment and hourly wages; and (6) Estimated Year 12 completion effects: reweighted estimates adjusting for attrition, late respondents. (Contains 15 tables, 4 figures and 9 footnotes.) [For the research overview, "Year 12 Completion and Youth Transitions: Research Overview. Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth.

All young people completing Year 12 in Queensland are now expected to attain a qualification. There has been a fundamental change of mindset about the purposes of senior secondary schooling which has challenged education leaders to devise strategies for the achievement of that desired outcome. As part of an Australian Research Council Linkage project with the Queensland Department of Education and Training (DET), this research reports on leadership strategies for system-wide multi-level reform that, in this instance, are intended to achieve that outcome for young people (who are notionally 17 years old at the time of completing Year 12). The report provides insight into the strategies of educational leaders who are redefining learning relationships with young people in Years 10, 11 and 12. From 2007 to 2010, a range of data was collected and analysed. This included interviews with educational leaders operating at local schools, district, regional offices and state levels of education and training; a questionnaire distributed to education and training, workplace and community agency leaders; policy documents and publicly accessible documents from schools and organisational websites. The findings presented are situated in reference to, and informed by related research in this field. [Executive summary].

Youth and the future What will become of today’s young people in Australia, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America? Will they be supportive of the world they live in? Or are they doomed to be criminal drop-outs? The authors investigate to which extent different and contradictory trends of social modernisation and economic progress determine the biographical development and social integration of young people in different countries and world regions. Thus, the authors look at the role young people themselves can play in the future; either as construc tive social actors or as a problematic – and partly excluded – group unable to face the challenges of a permanently changing world.

This paper reports on the major transition pathways which Australian young people take when they reach compulsory age. The pathways have been presented as the: compulsory to post- compulsory school pathway; school to university / higher education pathway; school to VET (vocational education and training) pathway; apprenticeship / traineeship pathway; and school to work pathway. Other pathways taken by young people, especially early school leavers, that do not involve further training, often lead to long bouts of unemployment or total withdrawal from the labour market.

Youth transitions refer to young people's journeys from school to post-school study and on to employment. This is a time when young people experience rapid biological, psychological and physical changes, as well as changing social and economic situations, as they begin to take on the responsibilities of adulthood. In this paper, the authors first define a "successful youth transition". They then consider a range of factors that affect transitions. Following this, they discuss a number of interventions which can help young people to make the transition successfully. (Contains 1 table and 2 footnotes.).

Leaving school, whether to move on to training, work or education, is a fundamental rite of passage the world over. This volume draws on a wealth of international sources and studies in its analysis of the ‘transitions’ young students make as they move on from their secondary schooling. It identifies how these transitions are planned for by policymakers, enacted by school staff and engaged with by students themselves. With data from a range of nations with advanced industrial economies, the book delineates how the policies relating to these transitions need to be conceived and implemented, how the transitions themselves are negotiated by young people, and how they might be shaped to meet the varied needs of the students they are designed to help. The authors argue that the relationship, often complex, between what schools provide in the way of preparation, and the ways in which students take up what is on offer, is the crucial nexus for understanding the experience of transitions by young people, and for enhancing that experience. With a host of case studies of transition policies themselves, as well as evaluative data on how they were received by the school leavers whom they were designed for, this valuable addition to the educational literature deserves to be read by all those with roles in preparing the young for their journey into a complex adult world full of pitfalls as well as opportunity.
