JA’s education pathway A personal sense of I can is one of the most important elements in the complex interaction of external and internal variables that contribute to a student’s ability to succeed. JA programmes are designed to foster that attitude. The constructive combination of new knowledge and skills, coupled with the development of positive attitudes about the topics that are being learned, increase students’ perception that they have the ability to control their future and succeed in similar tasks – that is to ‘own their success’ through full employment and 昀椀nancial health.
