Description

Ignorant Yobs?: Low Attainers in a Global Knowledge Economy by Routledge examines how young people defined as lower attainers or those with learning difficulties navigate contemporary global economies. This critical work challenges the social stigma surrounding learning disabilities and questions why governments struggle to connect education policy with labour market outcomes. The book explores the international phenomenon of low attainers in developed nations where economic productivity is paramount, yet educational trajectories for struggling learners remain unclear and underexamined. It provides essential analysis for educators, policymakers and researchers seeking to understand how education systems can better serve students with diverse learning needs rather than treating them as social problems or passive resource consumers in an increasingly knowledge-driven world.

Key Features

Routledge publishes this academic examination of low attainers and learning difficulties in contemporary education systems.

The book addresses the gap between government economic productivity goals and actual education policy for students with learning difficulties.

Ignorant Yobs? challenges social perceptions that frame low attainers as problems rather than individuals with potential and agency.

This international analysis examines how developed countries approach the education and employment of young people with learning difficulties.

The work provides critical perspectives for educators and policymakers developing inclusive education strategies.
