All children in Jersey learn and achieve
Long-term perspective
Today’s children will determine Jersey’s future as they become tomorrow’s citizens and education plays a key role in determining how someone spends their adult life. Young people leaving education and training early run a greater risk of struggling to find employment and are more likely to work in insecure and low-paid jobs or experience longer periods of unemployment later in life.

Development in a child’s early years is an important predictor of success in later life and children who have a high quality early learning experience are likely to achieve better results at the end of both primary and secondary school.
