	There is an argument that says, if a young person is in full time education, they aren’t getting paid anything. Employers’ agencies argue that someone has to pay the cost of education, and by asking the employer to pay a higher apprenticeship wage that young person’s education costs is being pushed on to the employer, whereas the government is paying for them if there are in an FE college and not earning anything. That’s worth reflecting on.		There is an argument that says, if a young person is in full time education, they aren’t getting paid anything.

	There is an argument that says, if a young person is in full time education, they aren’t getting paid anything. Employers’ agencies argue that someone has to pay the cost of education, and by asking the employer to pay a higher apprenticeship wage that young person’s education costs is being pushed on to the employer, whereas the government is paying for them if there are in an FE college and not earning anything.
