Social Mobility, Chance or Choice?

2 mins read Education PSHE Education
A sequel to Born to Fail? Social Mobility a Working Class View (2017), Social Mobility, Chance or Choice? revisits mutuality and asks do we dare to start a new conversation by considering the issues, solutions and impact to the education and social issues that push against the moral questions underpinning social mobility.

Citing the views from interviews with education and business leaders, Social Mobility: Chance or Choice? reflects on the changing skillsets, behaviours and capacities of workers required by employers, business and industry and the inescapable conclusion that the skillsets and capacities will continue to change in ways that are almost impossible for us to predict.

In these contexts, we must question whether the traditional recognised journey of educational achievement - maximising university entrance (and the related assessment) - is still relevant or useful for all children and young people.

Summary of findings

This publication provides an opportunity to introduce mutuality in the context of moral behaviours that inform the why, what and how of character and values education across society.
