Schools, courts, social workers and an NGO team up for kids in care

A non-profit is working with schools, juvenile courts and welfare agencies to improve the education of foster children, who tend to fall between gaps, frequently changing schools, dropping out and being much less likely to achieve proficiency in maths and English. The collaboration means social workers, for example, will identify children who need educational help. In Indiana, where it began, the project has been incorporated into the state government.
