Education Maintenance Allowance project page

The evaluation of Education Maintenance Allowance was the largest single evaluation ever funded by the Department for Education and Skills and was undertaken by a consortium of organisations, led by the Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP). EMA is designed to increase participation, retention and achievement in full-time post 16 education by providing young people from less affluent families with financial incentives. EMA pilots began in 15 Local Authority Areas in September 1999 and, following evidence from the evaluation of their success in increasing participation, was rolled out nationally in September 2004.

The EMA evaluation had a number of different elements. This report presents findings of the third and final annual report of the evaluation of EMA in Leeds and London. EMA was allocated differently in the first year in these areas than in the other pilot areas and for this reason they were not included in the main evaluation. A smaller evaluation was undertaken in Leeds and London based on the following methods: analysis of LEA administration records on applications and awards of EMA; analysis of careers service data on the destinations of young people after finishing compulsory education; and qualitative case studies in schools and colleges.
