How can we understand the educational disengagement of urban,
working-class young people? What role do schools and education
policies play in these young people's difficult relationships with
education? How might schools help to support and engage urban
youth? This book critically engages with contemporary notions of
'at risk' youth. It explores the complexity of urban young people's
relationships with education and schooling and discusses strategies
for addressing these issues.
Drawing on a two year study of urban 14-16 year olds,
educational professionals and parents, the book focuses in depth on
the views and experiences of ethnically diverse young Londoners who
had been identified by their schools as 'at risk of dropping out of
education' and as 'unlikely to progress into post-16
education'.
It provides an informative and accessible overview of the key
issues, debates and theoretical frameworks. It is important reading
for school leaders, teachers and learning support assistants as
well as trainee teachers and educational researchers.
