Low self esteem and an ability to read or write properly is a situation many of those drawing benefit in the UK are experiencing. You might also be shocked to learn that in the UK 1 in 6 adults has a reading ability below the level set for 11 year olds!
There are also 5 million adults with no qualifications, of which half are unemployed. 60% of pupils leaving school during the past 10 years (3.9 million) have done so with less than 5 GCSE’s at grade C or above, of which 1 million don’t even have 5 GCSE’s at all!
Are we failing to educate Britains poorest, are we fueling a society based on spiralling worthlessness as a natural state?
