Leaving school, whether to move on to training, work or education,
is a fundamental rite of passage the world over. This volume draws
on a wealth of international sources and studies in its analysis of
the 'transitions' young students make as they move on from their
secondary schooling. It identifies how these transitions are
planned for by policymakers, enacted by school staff and engaged
with by students themselves. With data from a range of nations with
advanced industrial economies, the book delineates how the policies
relating to these transitions need to be conceived and implemented,
how the transitions themselves are negotiated by young people, and
how they might be shaped to meet the varied needs of the students
they are designed to help. The authors argue that the relationship,
often complex, between what schools provide in the way of
preparation, and the ways in which students take up what is on
offer, is the crucial nexus for understanding the experience of
transitions by young people, and for enhancing that experience.
With a host of case studies of transition policies themselves, as
well as evaluative data on how they were received by the school
leavers whom they were designed for, this valuable addition to the
educational literature deserves to be read by all those with roles
in preparing the young for their journey into a complex adult world
full of pitfalls as well as opportunity.
