We work in five countries to research, develop and disseminate
innovative, trans-European training and support systems . The
objective is to enhance the quality, performance and practice of
school leaders, teachers and Regional Education
Centres/centralised public institutions in reducing Early School
Leaving and encouraging young people to complete an youth
education. This improves the quality of lifelong learning for
students still at school and their capacity to benefit from it
throughout their adult lives.

2. RECIPE Objectives
Our overall objective is to explore and en-
hance the quality and performance of school-
REC partnerships and thereby help schools
throughout ‘Europe meet the 2020 headline
target of reducing early leaving to below 10%.
We aim to do this by progressing a broad,
inter-related set of LLP objectives and
priorities focused on Priority 1.2.4 for Come-
nius multilateral projects, i.e. “Reducing early
school leaving, improving the learning of students with migrant backgrounds
and Roma pupils as well as promoting gender equality and inclusive ap-
proaches to learning”.
Through collaboration between partners we intend to develop and
disseminate better quality, trans European training and support systems for
our target groups of teachers, school leaders, teacher trainers, in all Europe-
an countries. These systems encompass training courses for both the induc-
tion of teachers and for their continuing professional development in relation
to the needs of their local communities disadvantaged groups.
