Education and Skills
We work with local organisations across the East Midlands towards the achievement of Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) targets to ensure that educational attainment is central to local community strategies.
Government Offices have an important role in helping the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) deliver its education strategy for the next five years and beyond. It focuses on giving children an excellent start in education, enabling young people to equip themselves with life and work skills, and encouraging adults to achieve their full potential through learning.
