to slow the growth of the unemployment numbers by keeping new entrants into the workforce at school or other education establishments.

Ops, that'll teach me to make assumptions.

..or at least saying that education is a priority, which is what this government is actually doing IMV.

'Carry on Spending' ..... that would be a good name for a political comedy film starring Gordon Brown and Ed Balls.
