People at an educational disadvantage

Education is key to unlocking employment opportunities and improving life chances, but too many children and young people face socioeconomic disadvantages which prevent them from achieving their potential at school.

The latest statistics show that by the time young people leave school, disadvantaged students are on average 3.5 grades behind their peers.

Beyond grades, the statistics show that unauthorised school absence is also far higher amongst vulnerable pupils (Source: epi.org.uk).

This has long-term consequences, with disadvantaged young people much less likely to go on to university and secure employment and financial stability. We need to intervene at an earlier stage, which is why The Considered Ask supports a range of brilliant organisations working to improve educational attainment amongst disadvantaged young people, helping them to improve their school attendance, and secure the grades they need at GCSE and A-Level to move into a fulfilling career.

Future Frontiers aim to break the cycle of inequality in education.

At the age of 16, young people at a socioeconomic disadvantage have to make critical choices about their future – what to study, where, how – and too many do not have the guidance or support networks they need to make informed decisions at this critical juncture.

In partnership with schools and businesses, Future Frontiers deliver a two-year, evidence-based programme of career coaching that equips pupils with the self-belief, motivation and readiness to enter, complete and achieve post-16 qualifications.

This programme has really opened my son’s eyes and given him a new sense of purpose. I hope they know how much impact they are having on these young people’s lives.I know a lot more about careers now and also about what qualifications are required for them. I want to become an EFL teacher and teach English to students who have come over here from other countries.

Before I did the Future Frontiers programme I didn’t really know what I was going to do with myself after GCSEs. Now I have a more solid knowledge of what I want to do after GCSEs, and I feel a lot more motivated at school
