An OFSTED survey has found that only a quarter of all secondary schools have a quality programme for preparing pupils for the world of work.The Office of Standards in Education, a non-ministerial government department responsible for the inspection of all schools in England, says many pupils are insufficiently prepared to make the important economic decisions that will affect them either as an employee or generally. 

A new report de-bunks some of the myths about people in business thinking that Britain’s planning systems are full of unnecessary red tape.”The Economic Consequences of Planning to the Business Sector” finds that businesses accept the planning process as a necessary part of British life, and that it is less of a burden on business than other forms of regulation.
But businesses do want modernisation, more efficiency, and a greater say.
