The prevention of failure and abandonment of educational studies is a primary objective for all EU member states in the light of the new objectives of the Lisbon Strategy 2020. Italy, despite having made ​​good progress in recent years, is one of the countries are still far from the target of 10% maximum of early school leavers, that is, children who do not reach the higher education diploma or professional qualification before entering the world of work. Before establishing appropriate strategies, it is necessary to clarify the nature of the causes that lead to early school leaving today. The research contained herein demonstrates, using a qualitative approach, which in addition to the direct causes of abandonment (placed in the wrong choice of school), there are remote causes (which is a family celebration of the pupil) and hidden causes (the so-called dream labor law for students attracted to a demand for low-skilled labor). Need to innovate local policies, the only ones able to leverage the real causes, remote and hidden abandonment, involving the same terminals of the process of abandonment: schools, families and businesses.

The work is aimed at an audience of teachers, tutors, representatives for guidance, local administrators, designers interested in training to the implementation of this new approach to local politics of educational success.
