<jats:p>The “Open Campus” scheme piloted in the USA aims to combine employment and
schooling to tackle the growing problem of alienated pupils with few
qualifications or skills. Recently it has been suggested that such
schemes could tackle similar problems in Britain. Given that research
findings indicate that children′s jobs are generally low paid, routine
and unskilled and that working in excess of ten hours per week carries
potential costs to educational performance and commitment, the reasoning
behind this suggestion is questioned.</jats:p>
