Those who are not in employment, education or training DO SUFFER from being classed together like some "alien species".
As soon as you mention the word "NEET", the negative image of them not working and not getting proper training/education pops up. Now, from the media's pointview, people have alot of criticism towards this topic, others that shows tolerance to NEETS can be hardly found. Of course NEETS brings trouble to individuals, families and the community around us and they are also the hope of their parents or even pillars of the country. Yet they not only cannot assume their proper responsibilities but also reach out to parents. HOWEVER, our society, our schools have no responsibility to this??
Certainly, NEETS should not be the object of censure, but rather the object of sympathy. NEETS are very much aware of the negative way they are judged and been isolated by others will just bring down their self confidence. A lot of those young people in fact do go on futher education but drop out at the end because they are on the wrong course and proper advice was not given. They just need a bit of guidance and support to get into work or onto an appropriate training course. Some people say NEET is the retaliation for education. How profound! " The experience that young people gain between the ages of 16 and 19 is crucial to building the skills they need for a successful career and adult life" Hughes (2009) Therefore it is local authorities, schools, colleges and training provider's responsibility to provide and offer the best education for young people to make sure they leave with compulsory skills to survive in a situable place for them.
