Project Summary

Bearing in mind the European 2020 Strategy, in the educational field, our aim is to:
-Reduce the early school drop out rate to below 10%.
-Increase the rate of 30-34 year old completing tertiary level education by at least 40%.
-Increase the number of young people who continue their studies after the compulsory secondary education which is crucial for the proper development of individuals and communities within the Europen Union.
In order to reach this goal, we have two main objectives:
-Decreasing the number of pupils who drop out the C.S.E. (compulsory secondary education) before getting a certificate.
-Scheduling a realistic second chance educational offer allowing them to return to the formal education, vocational training or to
harmonize their personal and professional life.
Adult educational providers are considered as second chance centers, as a mean of achieving the aforementioned aims.
The main project objective is to develop working strategies for the schools to finally get said achievements.
Our partnership is constituted of different schools at different stages belonging to different European countries in order to have a
larger vision of the problem, thus to identify the main reasons of school failure and early school leaving.
Having analyzed those reasons, we will elaborate and implement tools to solve those problems eventually, which are:
– Early diagnosis of school failure.
– Decalogue of succesful teaching-learning methods.
– New learning and communication platforms such as e-Twinning.
– Communication channels between teachers and students with the help of I.C.T.
The project’s activities will be about:
– Presentation of the range of school environments.
– Descriptive diagnosis of the early school drop out causes in each country.
– Elaboration of questionnaires to help us find the causes of dropping out.
– Job shadowing in each country.
– Sharing and comparing those causes among the partners in order to find common aspects.
– Compilation of lesson plans of different subjects to be gathered in a e-book format.
– Creating and maintaining a website containing all the information and products developed within this project.
– Sociocultural immersion.
The activities will be developed by the staff, but students and the whole educational community will directly benefit from the results
acquired. Special attention will be given to students with a school failure profile and at risk of social exclusion.
The chosen methodology to carry out this Project is based on collaborative work among the staff of the different partners. This
collaborative work includes the sharing of tasks, taking decisions fairly and democratically. All the educational community will be
involved in the Project directly or indirectly.
The project will have an important impact on educators who are actively involved in the project: the exchange of experiences, new
work methods, contrasting strategies, etc.. It will also serve to improve the quality of adult education and to gain better cooperation
between adult education institutions of the European Union.
Those trainers who do not take an active part in the project will be influenced through meetings and seminars in which the teachers
are involved.
This diffusion among members of each institution will make the impact of this project have an effect on the quality of the collective
education of adult students as well as the skills of teachers in motivating their students and mastering some latest new
innovative teaching methods which have been proved to be successful.
Sharing this experience with other schools in the partner countries will bring added value for its organizers.
The disclosure of each local and regional community, by means of specific documents developed within the framework of this
project, conferences and meetings with other educational entities and the dissemination through the media (written press and
project website) will ensure the results to be spread to an even wider social network, contributing to present a common educational
vision within the diversity of a united Europe.
The learning partnership hopes that the results and experience of the project can effectively contribute to improving access for
adults to all levels of education and culture as it is the key to decreasing the risk of exclusion, ensuring and increasing participation in
employment opportunities and access to all resources, goods and services.
As a result, the number of students who fail in certain subjects will decrease and the ones who drop out from school will also
decrease considerably. With the charts, tables and graphs that we are going to elaborate, we will prove that educating people is
more profitable than ignoring early school drop outs.
