Social Mobility: Chance or Choice?, a sequel to `Born to Fail?
Social Mobility, a Working Class View' (October 2017), sets out the
current chances and choices available for those considered by the
establishment to need social mobility. Revisiting mutuality, Sonia
Blandford asks whether we care enough as a society by considering
the issues, solutions and impact to the education and social issues
that push against the chance or choice of social mobility. Citing
the views from interviews with education and business leaders,
Social Mobility: Chance or Choice? reflects on the changing
skillsets and capacities of workers required by employers, business
and industry and the inescapable conclusion that the skillsets and
capacities will continue to change in ways that are almost
impossible for us to predict. In these contexts, we must question
whether the traditional acme and 'recognised journey' of
educational achievement - maximising university entrance - is still
relevant or useful for working class children and young people and
children facing disadvantage. Apprenticeships, at their best, can
offer an updated and forward-facing solution to the providing
choice for working class and all children and young people. Despite
current policy developments to encourage meaningful
apprenticeships, apprenticeship programmes are experiencing
challenges. Social Mobility: Chance or Choice? argues that applied
learning and work-based learning should be more accessible and
available to all children and young people. If we are serious about
unleashing the talent of all children and young people, regardless
of their background, challenges or needs, we must consider new and
innovative approaches to post-14 education. If we are to unleash
the potential of all children and young people, the role of Further
Education needs to be respected and understood. Quality Further
Education and training in partnership with business is a credible
answer to social mobility. Further Education is an underused but
ideally placed sector to develop meaningful change for
working-class young people, providing real chances and choices.
Beginning with Leaders - professionals, practitioners, parents or
carers, and members of society have a shared responsibility to
ensure that all children and young people have a right to chance or
choice and support these opportunities. Building a society that is
truly inclusive.
