Young Parents Returning to Education
If you have had to leave full-time education because of the arrival of a new baby it is not impossible to return to education if you want to. Indeed it is often a good idea to do so.
Education and qualification can help both you and your child by helping you develop new skills, gain some qualifications and improve your employability. It will also get you out of the house regularly, improve your confidence and social skills and even find you new friends.
However, you may be unsure about leaving your child in someone else’s care while you are out studying – indeed it’s a big step for every parent to let someone else look after their children.
It’s important to remember that there is help available and there is no great pressure on you to rush back into education before you feel ready. Take the time to look around at the options available to you, both in terms of classes and childcare provision and make the right decision for you.
If you are under 16 years old you are still of school age and chances are that you will be encouraged by various agencies to stay within the school system until you complete your GCSE’s. However you won’t be forced and there are other options available to you.
Home tuition is an option, but this can be expensive and you have to be able to discipline yourself to work from home – trickier than you might imagine when there is TV, internet, family and a fridge to distract you! Also home tuition can be expensive, unless you happen to have a family member with a university degree who is willing to supervise your studying, then he or she may be able to act as your official tutor. Whatever the case, if you work from home you will have to be able to set aside time to study and complete coursework on time.
If you have been consistently unable to finish coursework on time for your exams and/or do not wish to sit your GCSE’s, then it might be possible for you to attend other accredited courses that teach life skills, numeracy, literacy and basic IT skills.
