Early Leaving of Education is a complex educational challenge that deeply affects communities and individuals. Addressing this issue requires the commitment of various stakeholders to find effective solutions tailored to the diverse contexts in which it occurs. It’s a problem that encompasses not only the recovery of those intending to leave their studies without meeting the educational requirements or obtaining a qualification (overt or actual dropout) but also the more challenging task of stimulating participation in school activities and preventing a loss of interest with lower and lower outcomes (covert or hidden dropout – students in school, but mostly disengaged).
While some European countries have made significant progress in reducing school dropout rates, others still face persistent challenges. This highlights the importance of ongoing exchange and the sharing of best practices among nations. For this purpose, the SCIREARLY project aims to identify successful practices and policies in Europe to improve the quality of early childhood education and care (ECEC), primary, and secondary education in communities where school dropout levels remain above EU-established averages, and learning achievements remain sub-standard.
The project’s outcomes will contribute to shaping optimal learning conditions and environments, with significant impacts on future outcomes for students and society as a whole.
To address this critical issue, CESIE is organizing a dialogic seminar, an event for exchange and cooperation to share knowledge, experiences, and ideas on school dropout and to define concrete proposals for improving learning conditions and environments.
When: Thursday, October 12, 2023, from 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM
When: DEMS Room at the Department of Political Science and International Relations (DEMS) – Via Ugo Antonio Amico 4, Palermo
It’s important to involve all perspectives!
During the event, we will explore effective strategies, best practices, and discuss approaches and ideas to improve student outcomes and reduce the school dropout rate. SCIREARLY activities for 2023-2024, which schools can join, will also be presented.
