Another Way to Learn...Case Studies
There are too many people who are impacted by poverty, poor housing, stigma and discrimination, unemployment, and ill health. This is a vicious cycle that hinders people from things that most of us take for granted. Education and public services have not worked well for the marginalized and disadvantaged, who in turn do not always have the means to challenge the quality of education or provision they are offered. Some of these groups are:
- People living with HIV and AIDS
- People who are using drugs, and injecting drug users (IDUs)
- Adolescents with many needs
- Those excluded because of age, disability or ill health
- People with low levels of literacy: individuals who experience public services as an obstacle course of hard-to-read leaflets, letters and forms.
