It synthesises the research on alternative education programs and their contribution to student outcomes using three main conceptual categories: how sustainable these programs are— their stickability; how effective these programs are in achieving their stated purpose of improving and enhancing vulnerable students’ learning, well-being, and pathways — their transformability; and how these programs may be used successfully in other locations and contexts — their transmittability. It concludes with recommendations for future practice, suggesting that school systems should prioritise prevention and early intervention in providing support to vulnerable students in ways that take account of students’ own reasons for why they are disengaged from schooling.
