Description
Learning to Fail: How Society Lets Young People Down explores the root causes of youth unemployment and educational failure in developed countries. Despite economic growth, one in ten young people in the UK were neither working nor learning.
The book examines the factors that contribute to this problem, including the role of schools, colleges, careers advisers, and employers. It reveals how marginalised young people are let down at every stage of their journey, from childhood to adulthood.
Through the stories of eight young people, Fran Abrams sheds light on the lives and attitudes that shape their experiences. This thought-provoking book challenges conventional wisdom about educational success and failure, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex issues involved.
