Education

In most job sectors providing an income sufficient to meet the basic needs of a family, an education beyond high school is a minimum requirement. As a result of the relationship between educational attainment and employment, one's success in adulthood is connected to academic achievement. In order to ensure that children experiencing intergenerational poverty have the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty, they must progress in their academic careers. This forward progress will ensure high school graduation and later success in post-secondary education or training.
