First-generation learners face unique challenges, including a lack of family support regarding academic expectations and navigating the education system. They often experience higher levels of uncertainty and pressure, requiring significant self-advocacy. Financial constraints may also pose difficulties, as first-generation students frequently lack access to resources, scholarships, and guidance. Schools can assist by providing targeted support systems, mentoring programs, and workshops tailored to first-generation students, empowering them to overcome obstacles and succeed in their educational pursuits.
