Motivation in Education
Our Social Action Project is called Motivation in Education. We are passionate about education and are determined that everyone is able to see the long term value and worth of it. With a good education all of the world’s doors are opened, yet this concept is often lost to many disillusioned students.
Our project will involve seeking out underachieving schools in the local Birmingham area, and providing coaching, mentoring and support to a selected number of pupils. These pupils will have the ability to do very well at school, but will typically lack the motivation, skills or role models necessary to succeed.
