Hi classmate and teacher, in this opportunity I’m going to write about an article that I find in the page the guardian related to “prison education standards unacceptable”.

Generally, to introductions mode, the level of education in people is connected with his economic situation, that drives them to commit crime as they have difficulty for get merchandise. Following this idea, the good education in some places of the world is very expensive and restricted access, for this reason the people with fewer resources can’t get a good education or simply an education.

The article is referring to education inside of prison, because is explained that the half people inside the prison have literacy skills below those of most 11-year- olds. So, then re-integrate to society is very difficult not reoffend, because they don’t have skills for obtain a good job and develop skills to improve his personal conditions and rise his economic situation.

Mathew Coffey is the national director of further education and skills at the education watchdog Ofsted. He said that “it was unacceptable that not a single prison’s education programme had been rated as outstanding over the past four years, and only one in three judged to be good”.

Ultimately the education that received during the time that spend the prisoner is a good form for afterwards outside of prison, without this education the reoccurrence is permanent, and in the article mention that “research shows that being in employment is one of the key factors that can reduce the risk of reoffending by between 30% and 50%”

Finally, I can say that education is the better skills for improve ours situation, and in the case of the prisoner is the better arm for reduce the risk of reoffending. Regards
