With the publication of the latest NEET research, Professor Robin Simmons has been asked to comment both on TV (on BBC News yesterday) and in the Times Higher Educational Supplement.

The new survey found that nine out of 10 people not in work, education or training aspire to get a job or study, but more than a third feel they will never be employed.

The article goes on to say  that 'Robin Simmons, Professor of Education at the University of Huddersfield, and an expert on the "NEET" phenomenon, said the report's findings were "both disturbing and sobering".'
