Why are our learners disadvantaged, in such a rich place?

In our community higher, middle and lower income groups with very different social status live together

Obviously our learners are developing the lowest jobs, the worst paid jobs, temporary jobs. They are frequently exploited and they can´t choose since they need work because they belong to the lower income groups and have no qualifications.

How can we help them?

We provide education for those over 17 compatible with other activities like work or housework.
