Opportunity North East (ONE) is part of the Department for Education’s commitment to improve education and boost productivity in the North East of England.
The North East is a unique region, it is geographically large and covers a very diverse school landscape. The region has an interesting mix of urban, coastal, and rural communities, which each bring their own unique strengths and challenges.
Through strong collaboration with partners including schools, local authorities, local enterprise partnerships, academy trusts, universities, further education colleges and businesses, the programme aims to address the big challenges that hold back young people in the region.
The delivery plan sets out those challenges, identifying how Opportunity North East will help young people reach their potential from primary school, through secondary education, and beyond.
The North East Combined Authority is leading the delivery of Challenge 4 - 'Too few young people find a pathway to a good career', and aims to support students from 16 North East schools into post-16 sustained destinations.
