Wediscuss how these experiences may haveimpacted their learner identities and their‘horizons for action’; that is, how theyunderstand themselves as learners andtherefore, what pathways they see as moresuitable for people like themselves. Incases like this, perhaps school becomes asource of problems rather than a solution,with potentially significant implications forhow young people perceive and navigatetheir post-16 transition options.
