  Good one up next Highway Maintenance.
  For the Proposal.
  
  (1) Some feel that schools could take more of an active role in preparing young people for their future careers. Several-but not all schools-already provide a careers advice.
  
  (2)Some feel that the provision of a universal careers service could still be retained with a reduced budget, it,s important that it remains accessible if people want to use it but it could do less proactive work.
  
  (3) Some have questioned the value of advice from Connexions.
  
  Against the proposal.
  
  Reducing this service means that young people in search of training and work may not have access to the support and advice they need to make the right choices about their future careers and training.
  
  (2) Investing in good careers service and helping people make the right choices may in turn reduce the need for funding in other areas that are the result of bad choices,eg- unemployment.
  
  (3) Some feel that a universal careers advice should be separate from the home"Where children may feel pressured) and schools (Who are already responsible for so much.)
