What is education - Guest lecture 8

Our eighth guest lecturer was Alice Davies who is part of the South West Wales reaching wider partnership project. She spoke to us about increasing opportunities for people with different backgrounds that may be at a disadvantage of furthering their education due to various reasons. Their main aims are to encourage progression to higher education by assisting children through certain stages of school, for example GCSE, A levels and Ucas applications. She explained what the teams do with each age group to help them to further their education, for example, setting up extra revision classes where pupils can express their personal concerns.
