摘要

参与儿童福利服务的家庭的儿童被认为是高风险的,容易在一些领域出现问题。特别是,这一群体的教育成就往往比一般人群的同龄人要低。本质性研究的目的是了解曾经参与儿童福利的年轻人的教育愿望和随后的途径。对来自加拿大安大略省的7名年轻人(平均年龄31岁)进行了半结构化访谈,了解他们在高中的教育愿望以及促进和阻碍他们实现目标的因素。调查结果表明,青少年在高中时期对自己的未来抱有很高的期望和梦想。然而,复杂的挑战阻碍了这些梦想的实现。虽然所有七名参与者都开始了大专课程,但只有一人成功完成。没有一个年轻人实现了他们在高中时的教育和职业梦想。然而,重返校园仍然是大多数参与者未来的一个重要目标。尽管面临着巨大的挑战和无法实现的教育愿望,有儿童福利经历的青少年仍然高度重视教育,以激发对未来的希望和乐观。为参与儿童福利的青少年解决教育成就的障碍仍然是帮助他们实现教育愿望的一个重要重点。

Aspirations Are Not Enough: Barriers to Educational Attainment for Youth Involved with Child Welfare
Children of families involved with child welfare services are considered high-risk and are vulnerable to developing problems in a number of domains. In particular, educational achievement among this population tends to be lower relative to general population peers. The goal of this qualitative study was to understand the educational aspirations and subsequent pathways of young adults with former child welfare involvement. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven young adults (mean age of 31 years) from Ontario, Canada about their educational aspirations in high school and factors that served as facilitators and obstacles to their achievement. The results indicate youth had high hopes and dreams for their future in high school. However, complex challenges impeded the realization of these dreams. Although all seven participants initiated post-secondary programs, only one reached successful completion. None of the young adults achieved the educational and occupational dreams they had in high school. Nevertheless, returning to school remains a prominent future goal for most participants. Despite significant challenges and unrealized educational aspirations, youth with child welfare experiences continue to place high value on education in inspiring hope and optimism for the future. Addressing barriers to educational achievement for youth with child welfare involvement remains an important focus to help educational aspirations become a reality.
