DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS:

This study reviews the scale and nature of the problem of early school leaving in the EU. It examines in detail how countries are trying to tackle this problem and identifies characteristics of effective policies, leading to a range of recommendations for European and national level actors in
the future. The study is based on in-depth country research in nine Member States, as well as analysis of international and national literature.

Importantly, the research approach adopted for this study is different from previous European reviews on this topic, in that it allowed for a more detailed review of a small number of Member States, with consultations of a broad range of stakeholders in these countries. This included representatives of education authorities, teachers, parents and secondary school students, as well as practitioners working with early school leavers through NGOs and projects targeted at at-risk youth.
The study covers all 27 EU Member States but includes an in-depth analysis of nine countries. These are: Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Lithuania, Netherlands,
Poland, Finland and UK (England).

COMMENTS ON THIS PUBLICATION:

Attention is focused on preventing early school leaving and providing second chances.
A useful summary of effective ESL practices and strategies is also suggested, as well as recommendations to national/regional(/ local) authorities as far as the best policies to be carried out.
