Lesson outcome

I can compare Viv and Del's differing experiences with education - both formal and informal - in ‘Leave Taking’.

Show transcript
Del's experiences with formal education were mainly negative. Del understands the value of formal education, hence her anger at Viv for skipping one of her A Level exams. Del finds a sense of peace and fulfilment via her informal education with Mai. Despite her academic success, Viv doesn't connect to her school curriculum. At the end of the play, Viv pursues Black Studies at uni, perhaps suggesting she will enjoy a more fulfilling education.
