Celebrating educational success
of
minorities
|
For years OFSTED has shown that
certain minority groups are failing to keep up with the general rise in
educational achievement, however a certain organisation has improved attainment
levels amongst the minorities, which in return has had an impact on the
wider community. The Project exists to extend, develop and improve opportunities for children to play and learn in safe stimulating environments. This is accomplished by providing home Tutoring to deliver educational support within the national curriculum, and offer a range of facilities, and opportunities to meet the social, physical, Intellectual, creative, and emotional needs of children, enabling healthy family relationships and assisting with the role of parenting, with a focus on improving life chances and tackling the effects of child poverty. Project Coordinator Robina waheed said, “Home Study learning uses learning to tackle inequality and build social inclusion. We create learning programmes and services that offer fresh opportunities to young people who have gained least from formal education. Much has happened since we set up in 2003, so it is entirely right that we step back and take stock of what the project has successfully delivered and also to assess what our priorities should be for going forward. An event is to take place on the 18th of July in Huddersfield to show how the project has developed and the significant impact it has on the attainment of pupils. It is hoped that after reading the evaluation document available on the day, it will be of value and inspiration to other organisations undertaking youth work with young people.” Parents, carers, professionals are all welcome to attend the event on |
