The Government’s Department for Education and Skills (DfES) aims to create an even better educated and more highly skilled workforce. It also seeks to provide the opportunity for everyone to reach their full potential.

Amongst its objectives are:
* Give children an excellent start in education so that they have a better foundation for future learning.
* Enable all young people to develop and equip themselves with the skills, knowledge and personal qualities needed for life and work.

First Light have collaborated with the DfES for the 'Film and Citizenship' campaign. edit 855
