Young people from underprivileged backgrounds often have specific educational resource needs to support their learning and development. Here are five key educational resource needs for young people from underprivileged backgrounds:

Access to quality education: Providing young people from underprivileged backgrounds with access to quality education is crucial. This includes ensuring access to well-equipped schools, qualified teachers, and comprehensive curriculum materials. It also involves addressing barriers to entry, such as tuition fees, transportation costs, and other financial constraints that may hinder their participation in education.

Learning materials and resources: Young people from underprivileged backgrounds can benefit from access to diverse learning materials and resources. This includes textbooks, workbooks, digital resources, and educational technology tools that support their learning across different subjects and domains. Providing these resources can enhance their engagement, comprehension, and overall learning outcomes.

Tutoring and academic support: Many young people from underprivileged backgrounds may require extra academic support to overcome learning gaps and challenges. Offering tutoring services, academic mentoring programs, or peer support networks can help bridge these gaps and provide targeted assistance in areas where they may struggle. Personalized support can boost their confidence, academic performance, and prospects.

Career guidance and vocational training: Young people from underprivileged backgrounds may benefit from career guidance and vocational training opportunities. Access to information about various career paths, mentorship programs, job shadowing, internships, and vocational skills training can equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to explore different career options and make informed decisions about their future.

Enrichment programs and extracurricular activities: Enrichment programs and extracurricular activities play a vital role in the holistic development of young people from underprivileged backgrounds. These programs can include arts, sports, cultural activities, leadership development, and community engagement initiatives. Such opportunities foster creativity, critical thinking, social skills, and personal growth, helping to broaden their horizons and build confidence.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
