Although social and cultural capital is to some extent determined, it is important to be aware that individuals’ social capital can also be built and strengthened via the family, peers, school and wider local community. Not only does it encourage a student’s persistence in education, it can also help overcome the effects of a deficit in cultural capital on an individual’s educational path.

Support for autonomy, competence and relatedness using school – community collaboration as a systematic ESL prevention tool

Autonomy, competence and relatedness are the building stones of intrinsic motivation that is crucial for students to stay in school.
