Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

Is the clause aimed at people who have found themselves without the educational opportunity that they want, but are otherwise perfectly equable individuals; or is it aimed at finding a home for those who are difficult and disruptive, to whom schools have tried not to offer a place? To my mind, the wording of subsection (2)(a) makes rather a difference. If a person is willing to be taught, to require an institution to provide them with education is a reasonable thing to do. If what a person wants to be doing is spending the night DJ-ing and the day sleeping, then how can you require an institution to provide them with an education? You can require it to try, but you cannot require it to do it.
