If we compare Liverpool to a richer area - perhaps Surrey we can see a clear geographical bias.  While differences are important,  it seems the government want to keep people within their class.

'Surrey has a strong knowledge based economy' and their review focuses on getting people into high level finance work, life sciences and university.
Liverpool has 'industrial success' and their review focuses on customer service and entry level warehouse jobs

WHEN THE REVIEWS WILL TAKE PLACE 1.	Each review will be led by a steering group composed of a range of stakeholders within the area; likely members include the chairs of governors of each institution, the FE and Sixth Form College Commissioners, local authorities, Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and Regional Schools Commissioners. 2.	A differentiated approach to local involvement will be adopted which will enable areas with the strongest governance and levers to take a leading role, building on the skills flexibilities agreed with Greater Manchester, London and Sheffield. 3.	The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Department for Education will also be represented, either through or alongside the funding agencies, reflecting Government’s responsibility for protecting students.

1. The post-16 education sector is critical to our strategy of raising productivity and economic growth
2. This policy context means that major reform of post-16 education and training institutions is now necessary, in a way which also addresses the significant financial pressures on institutions including a declining 16-19 population and the need to maintain very tight fiscal discipline in order to tackle the deficit.
3. Area-based review process, we propose to work with colleges to address financial or quality issues where they need to be tackled much sooner
4. The aim of these reviews is to ensure that we have the right capacity to meet the needs of students and employers in each area, provided by institutions which are financially stable and able to deliver high quality provision .
