Project Summary

Reducing the average European rate of early school leavers to less than 10% by 2020 is one of the education headline targets of the Europe 2020 Strategy1. Investment in the educational achievement of young people is essential for the employmentprospects of every young person. Investing in education helps to break the cycle of deprivation and poverty leading to the social exclusion of too many young people across Europe.A priority objective of educational policies is encouraging young people to continue their education and training beyond the mandatory stages for its positive effects on the individual development and social progress and for easing their access to the labour market. Reducing ESL requires the active involvement and cooperation of stakeholders at national, regional, local and school level. This includes teachers, parents, pupils and their representative associations together with guidance centres, trade unions,employers, and other experts such as social workers or school psychologists. Keyrepresentatives from policy fields such as employment, youth, health, welfare and social policy need to be involved in a collective approach to reducing ESL from the start. Each partner and each policy area provides a valuable and different perspective in understanding ESL processes.
