Businesses urged to give the gift of education this year
AN Award-winning teacher is asking big/london businesses to gift young people a better future by sponsoring a pupil through AA Educates in 2022.
Social Entreprise, AA Educates practically responds to the setbacks of Covid-19 and previous deprivation by providing 100% subsidised quality tuition and career mentorship for disadvantaged school students.
Pre Covid-19, disadvantaged students were starting school academically, three months behind their peers. By the time they left secondary school, this attainment gap increased by 21 months on average.
Post Covid-19, this attainment gap has significantly widened by 46%.
AA Educates CEO and founder, Andrine Allen hopes the new community focus many people have found as a result of the pandemic, will encourage them to rethink what good causes they support and help to improve the lives of young people who have been impacted by the pandemic.
She said “Covid 19 has had a terrible impact in so many areas of life and for so many people, that it is often impossible to measure but the attainment gap is something which is tangible and very real.
“By sponsoring a student, a business provides make a real difference by providing free tuition for a child and literally change their life.”
AA Educates works by proving free tutoring to pupils in years 6 to 11 as well as mentoring and partnering with private schools and running a mindset book club.
· £60 gives 10 gifted students access to the exclusive mindset book club for a term.
· £95 provides 10 students with tuition from a qualified teacher for an hour.
· £1,396 supports one student’s academic journey and gives them access to the full programme for an entire year.
Andrine added: “Through our innovative private school partnership programme, our more able students have access to private education and the experiences that come with it, which once felt unattainable to them.
“We ensure every student is positively impacted by understanding their present, investing in their future and teaching them how to take lessons from the past.”
