Six prisoners at the Isle of Man Prison have obtained passing marks (grades A through to D) in their GCSE English exam.
Currently 55% of the prison population are participating in some form of education offered by University College Isle of Man.
The prison education programme enables inmates to study functional skills such as GCSE and A-Level English and Maths, IT, Cookery and other relevant areas that can help them to gain valuable qualifications, which will enhance their employability upon release, and help with integrating back into society.
Dr Alex Allinson MHK, Minister for Education, Sport and Culture, said “The key to rehabilitation is empowering offenders to function effectively in the community upon their release. I would like to congratulate these individuals on achieving these remarkable results in their GCSE English. I hope that they will take their academic success as an opportunity to progress in their future, and I wish them all the best.”
