Vera's homework

Topic: Career advice for Children aged 7-11.


Introduction

Career advice will be offered for children as young as 7-11 under a government scheme to encourage them to broaden horizons and develop aspirations early in life. As a new research shows that three quarters of 11-year-olds want to go to university, but children from poorer backgrounds always fall short of their ambitions-suggesting better guidance may be needed. The scheme aims to challenge some of the "negative stereotyping" that leads some children from poorer backgrounds to believe that universities and certain careers are out of reach for them. (26 Oct. 2009, Education, BBC News) Furthermore, due to a survey which shows career guidence for teenagers has fallen over the pass 12 years, as while as those who think career advice is useful reduced from 49% in 1997 to 25% in 2008. Career-ralated learning will be provided for children in order to raise awareness of what they are capable of. Thus, this essay will take consideration of the positive and negative effects of career advice scheme, from the angle of both the government and the children themselves, means help children to prepare for the future or set them up in early age. Then it will give opinions of the argument and some feasible suggestions.
