At Youth Continuing Education, we improve school systems at scale and provide empowering employability and careers services to young people and adults. We own and manage a portfolio of schools and, as a not-for-profit, we invest annually in our programme of education research that informs policymaking around the world as well as our own work. What we do affects how teachers teach, leaders lead and students learn and we help to improve the life chances for all.
Existing research tells a powerful story and girls’ education is rightly a policy and strategic priority for governments around the world. Higher levels of youths’ education have long been associated with better health, longer lives, improved child survival rates and financial security. Despite this, many Youths are still not guaranteed access to school and remain at high risk of dropping out and failing to complete even basic education. The issues and the solutions are complex and multi-dimensional, and our research work has long focused on this topic. We produce research which can support policymakers and educational decision-makers to take action to support girls in accessing and completing quality education.
We are committed to researching the barriers to Youth education, as well as interventions that can advance their access to schooling, and promote longevity in school and learning.
