Education for young people has been described as:
"the only reliable route to escape from disadvantage" (Sonia Jackson 1995)
School can be a constant factor in the young person’s life and a place where potentially they are like everyone else.
Educational success can lead to:
- Enhanced self esteem and a sense of choice
- Building friendships and developing positive relationships
- Access to ‘other worlds’ through books and other media
- Developing new skills in areas such as art, music, technology and computers
- Access to post-school education
- Enhanced employment prospect
