Ubuntu Scotland

Ubuntu Scotland’s vision is to see Scotland recognised as a country with complete equity in education. We can't change a young person’s past, but we can change the consequences this has on their future. Ubuntu Scotland has identified that children, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds, are not given the right attention and support in the academic system. Often the specific difficulties they face are ignored as opposed to tackled. We want to see every child leaving school with a set of basic life skills regardless of background, along with the confidence and determination to follow whatever further educational or career path they desire. ​Ubuntu Scotland is determined to put the power into the hands of our young people. We want to provide the ultimate toolkit to allow our young people to be the change they want to see, offering support in five key areas.CreativityWorkplaceFinanceMental wellbeingSocial interaction
