How to read it

| short pause ‖ breathe
Aim for 22–26 seconds.
Words to stress correctly
| experience | ex·PE·ri·ence | /ɪkˈspɪriəns/ |
| education | ed·u·CA·tion | /ɛdʒəˈkeɪʃən/ |
| diversity | di·VER·si·ty | /dɪˈvɝsɪti/ |
| equality | e·QUAL·i·ty | /ɪˈkwɑləti/ |
| citizenship | CIT·i·zen·ship | /ˈsɪtɪzənʃɪp/ |
| equipping | e·QUIP·ping | /ɪˈkwɪpɪŋ/ |
58 words in 22–26 seconds, no numbers. Breathe after progress, after employer and after citizenship. The three lists (aspire, achieve and progress / equality and diversity / work, higher education and citizenship) need only short pauses.
Where marks are usually lost
ed·u·CA·tion (twice) stresses the third syllable; ex·PE·ri·ence, e·QUAL·i·ty, di·VER·si·ty, e·QUIP·ping the second; CIT·i·zen·ship the first. Keep the -s on students, skills and the possessive on learner's. Don't rush aspire, achieve and progress—three separate verbs.
General tip: this is a mission statement—keep an even, confident pace and let each list fall only on its last item (progress, employer, citizenship).
