An Education Review Office evaluation shows improved participation, behaviour, and academic achievement for students enrolled at Service Academies.
The military-focused academies offer courses such as leadership and outdoor education while students work towards achieving at least NCEA Level 1 literacy and numeracy. Students are motivated to learn new skills and earn qualifications, giving them a real chance to succeed. Many of the young people involved are Maori and Pasifika and come from low-decile schools.
Service Academies are part of National’s wider Youth Guarantee initiative. By the end of 2012 there will be places for 10,000 16- and 17-year-olds who are at risk of dropping out of education.
