'Careers advice has been reduced in more than eight out of 10 schools in England in the past year, research suggests.
A survey of professional careers advisers working in 1,500 secondary schools reveals "dramatic reductions" in the amount of professional careers guidance on offer.
Schools took over the duty to secure independent careers guidance for their pupils from September 2012.
The government says schools should decide what was right for them'.
One of my main criticism's of my schooling in the 80's was the lack of Careers Advice on offer, virtually non-existent! How do schools these days go about offering Careers Advice? Do they get people in from 'all walks of life' to give advice? Do teachers offer Careers Advice on the topic they teach?
