Chapter Two Conclusions
This preliminary paper raises a number of issues about the intention of the review group behind Determined to succeed, the attitudes of young people to the purport of this research, the appropriateness of involving schools - even indirectly - in the part-time work undertaken by pupils, and the capacity and willingness of schools and employers to be involved in recognising the learning associated with part-time work. It also makes the point that many of the ways of developing the recommendation of the review group would make considerable demands on national agencies such as SQA, Learning and Teaching Scotland and Careers Scotland, some of which could be additional to their current remits.
At this stage it is at least clear that there are a number of lines which the research can explore, although it may be unlikely that all of them will prove viable. The data which will be generated by the research will provide an important basis for judging the feasibility of the different models.
