Investments in education
The children – in this case – the pupils, are those benefiting after our investments from a better education and then a higher chance of getting a job. This is our final purpose: well trained young people, which will be able to ensure their living and their families’ living. But not only this; the beneficiaries’ list is much longer for all of us. For example: young people with qualification in new professions, needed in the job market, who develop the economy and the society; schools that have learned to adapt themselves to labour market demands, active schools looking for new sponsors, new possibilities for collaboration, schools teaching and developing partnership, schools launching new initiatives.
