Description

Social Mobility: Chance or Choice? by Sonia Blandford explores the current chances and choices available for those seeking social mobility. The author examines whether society cares enough to consider the issues, solutions, and impact on education and social policies that affect social mobility. Sonia Blandford reflects on the changing skillsets required by employers, business, and industry, and how these changes make it difficult to predict future needs. She questions the relevance of traditional educational pathways for working-class children and young people facing disadvantage. The book argues that apprenticeships can offer a solution, but they face challenges. Blandford advocates for more accessible and available applied learning and work-based learning opportunities for all children and young people. To unleash their talent, regardless of background or needs, new approaches to post-14 education are necessary.
