A Life Changing Opportunity: The wider benefits of Foundation Year Programme. W4H

A Life Changing Opportunity
This success story considers the broader impact of the Foundation Year Programme, an access scheme designed to help candidates overcome poor schooling and achieve the academic qualifications needed to win a place on and succeed on a professional course.
It examines other positive impacts that stem from giving young women from rural areas such a life-changing opportunity: greater confidence and social status, raised aspirations for women and girls in the participating communities, and changes to community attitudes to issues such as early marriage for daughters.
