While educational resources are more accessible than ever, many students continue to face obstacles that have little to do with academic ability. From financial hardship and unequal opportunities to a lack of guidance beyond school, these challenges can have a lasting impact on their learning. It raises an important question: are we doing enough to support students beyond the classroom?

On The Agenda, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Ashsufi Hussin, Founder of Brightguides Programme to find out if the existing support networks are still enough to ensure that students can keep up with their education, and what more can be done to ensure every young person has the opportunity to succeed.
