NZCER Competent Learners at 20.
Tracks to Adulthood
URL: Tracks to Adulthood
The longitudinal Competent Learners study has followed the progress of a group of around 500 young people from just before they started school. Information was collected at two-yearly intervals from age 4 until the age 16. The latest phase of the study revisited 401 of the participants at age 20 and looked at how they had fared since they left school, their current situation and experiences, what role their school experiences and performance played as they progressed into early adulthood and what they were gaining from current study and employment. This report details the findings of an in-depth, follow-up study undertaken with 29 of the study participants one year later (aged 21). These young people were chosen because their paths into adulthood seemed less straightforward than others and they had not followed a ‘well-lit path’ from secondary school to tertiary education.
