Re-Engaging Young People with Education

Focusing on the re-engagement of young people with education, this book highlights the challenges faced by underperforming students from low-income families, particularly regarding exclusions from secondary schools. Through an ethnographic study of fourteen students at a youth center, it examines their understanding of teamwork in the context of assessment. The author argues for a holistic view of student identity, emphasizing relational pedagogy over individual cognitive performance, making it essential for educators, scholars, and policymakers interested in educational inclusivity.
