Understanding Children and Youth at Risk

In this wonderfully and painstakingly constructed volume, Carmel Borg and Colin Calleja provides us with a series of social investigations that alert us to the fact that we could be well on our way to wasting yet another generation unless pedagogical and social action is taken! This text offers a gripping collection of models, methods and voices of how schools can enhance the educational chances of learns who are socially disadvantaged; truant in body or in mind, condemned as problematic.
