Lifelong Learning Project - School Inclusion - Preventing Early School Leaving

The School Inclusion Project

A common challenge for the European school systems is the prevention of early school leaving.

The School Inclusion project intends to identify the strategies developed in the different European countries to combat early school leaving so as to develop a common strategy to prevent the phenomenon. This common strategy should be based on the best practices identified at European level.

The School Inclusion Portal provides access to:

• Reports on the national trends, in five European countries, as far as early school leaving is concerned. Each report identifies both the causes and possible solutions related to the early school leaving issues. Each report also indicates the best practices and experiences carried out to combat early school leaving. Specific case studies have been carried out as an integration to each national report. On the basis of the analysis of the different national reports a Transnational Report on Early School Leaving is produced.
• Review of Publications available at national level in the five European countries involved, on the topics related to early school leaving. The publications include: literature, reports, data, studies etc. Each selected publication has been reviewed and presented according to a common format. The reviews of the selected publications are organized in a searchable database of documents.
• Training Package addressed to teachers so as to help them to identify the students at risk of early school leaving and to provide them with the skills to prevent the problem. In this section it is also possible to access to real life experiences of teachers in dealing with the problem of early school leaving. This will give the teachers the opportunity to share the approaches they use to deal with the problem of students at risk of dropping out, to transfer and exchange experiences and to learn from each other according to a peer to peer method.
