AYF Theme: Education- local capacity impact on opportunities (subjects and support)
At the AYF Re-Launch, March 2025, Young People identified some common themes impacting young people across Aberdeenshire that warranted exploring to try to understand better the experience of young people and, if anything, what could be done to improve things.
Some of the topics are complex and could take a long time to change but the first step is having a better understanding of the experience, perception from more young people so AYF members volunteering in the Thematic Groups can then raise and discuss with subject experts and organisations involved, particularly those that are involved in decisions about the topic or that have knowledge or other resources. This will help us all work together to understand if, where, with whom and how we could improve things.

This themed discussion is around Education- local capacity impact on opportunities (subjects and support)
If you are 12-25, living in Aberdeenshire, please help young people in this Thematic working group by sharing your views and experience of Education Opportunities that work well or that you think could be improved.
Are there subjects and support where you feel you have reasonable choices and options? What works well in terms of access to education opportunities in Aberdeenshire?
Are there education opportunities where you feel access or opportunities are impacted because of local capacity? Have you got any understanding about what is impacting capacity/education options in your area that could be improved?
