Background In 2008, the founder of Schooling for Life conducted research on the future prospects of youth in Sierra Leone. This research indicated that youth do not have sufficient means to pay for higher education. In addition, both youth and stakeholders indicated that there is a great lack of personal guidance for youth. Due to this fact, young people in Sierra Leone do not know how to achieve their goals or how to plan their future. To read the complete research, please visit: http://schoolingforlife.net/page-1/
