Learning Lessons: Young people’s views on poverty and education in Scotland

This report sets out the key messages from a joint study examining young people’s views on how to better support young people experiencing poverty to achieve at school – and in life.

It reports on the views of nearly a thousand young people – aged between 11 and 18 – on how poverty affects children and young people’s experiences of education and learning – both in and out of school – in Scotland. It also identifies young people’s views on what would help young people living in poverty to gain the most from their education and learning.
