I am seeking advice for my au pair from abroad, a 18 year old who was neglected by her mum and left home at the age of 15, and dropped out of school when she was 16 (no wonder). I have now got to know her very well, and have encouraged her to think about returning to school. She is particularly keen on starting to work as a nurse, or in her dreams even as a doctor, but whatever her future choices, she needs to first complete her secondary degree. Her English is okay -- although I would think she will have to work hard on this as well.
BUt I do not even know where to start -- my own children are still small so I have had no exposure to this at all, having been educated abroad myself. Is there a local government body I could turn to, or is it schools - or colleges? - I should look up? Any advie would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
