STEP BY STEP’s mission is to help break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and
low expectations by providing equal access to education for adults from
marginalized communities. As inequality rises, improving social mobility is
incredibly important. Despite the political focus on helping people from
disadvantaged backgrounds,there’s been little progress in social mobility in
recent years and deep-seated regional inequalities still exist. As a result,
social mobility in the UK is among the lowest in the developed world. It means
people born into low-income families, regardless of their talent or hard work,
don’t have the same opportunities as those born into privileged families. We
believe that everyone should be able to achieve their full potential, no matter
what their background is and Adult skills are a critical and often overlooked
area. We’re here to accelerate the representation of adult learners in UK
Universities and Colleges while obtaining vocational and academic skills to
empower the UK to compete in the global economy.
