Alternative pathways in education

Alternative pathways in education means that there are different ways for someone to get an education. Instead of only going to a traditional school, there are other ways, like online classes, apprenticeships, and other programs which can help someone learn and get an education. People might choose an alternative pathway if they have problems with traditional schooling, like if they find it too stressful, or if they want to learn something specific that isn't taught in traditional schools. There are lots of different opportunities with alternative pathways, so it's always worth looking into them!
