Working with Young People
‘Learning For All’ (2005) states that "We need to raise aspirations so that more people from under-represented groups make the most of the opportunities that exist, are motivated to achieve at school and later"
LEAPS and Routes 2 Success currently help deliver our programme of work in the South East and a new Project Officer will support activities in Forth Valley 2009/2010
- Targeted at young people from deprived areas with low participation rates in FE and HE
- to raise aspirations
- to increase attainment
- to promote progression to college or university and through FE/HE articulation routes
- promote retention
- empower young people and their families by providing information, advice and guidance.
The Forum’s work with young people supports the objectives of a Curriculum for Excellence which aims to create: successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors to society and at work.
The South East Forum is currently working with partners following the Scottish Funding Councils's reivew of the Forums' work with schools to develop the programme for 2010/2011
