Does our education system pass the test?

BBC Radio Ulster - Sunday Sequence, Does our education system pass the test?

Out of school and qualified for nothing. What's facing our young people? 

What can we learn from the Census about our young people and our education system? Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with the worlds of education and business.

Another batch of census figures were released this past week and they showed that a quarter of people over the age of 16 here have no qualifications.

What do the numbers tell us about the ambitions of our young people? What do they tell us about our education system? What do they tell us about what needs to change?

We're joined this morning by Ciara Deane, principal of St Joseph's Boys School in Creggan in Derry, entrepreneur Tina McKenzie from the Federation of Small Businesses and former school principal Michele Marken.
