Solutions from dropout to excellence, best practicesbetween schools: Italy, Spain, Rep. Cz, Portugal and Germany 2016/2018

2. OUR DUTIES IN THIS COUNTRY
One of the most important points, as
young students, is to reduce early
dropping out to 10% from the current 15%
and to increase the share of the
population aged 30-34 who have
completed tertiary education, from 31% to
almost 40%.

3. Many students fail to complete
their schooling. This can cause
serious problems for individuals,
their families and the country. We
will examine the reasons why
students leave school early in our
region, and suggest some
possibilities.

4. DROPOUT IN OUR REGION:
CALABRIA

5. In Calabria 17% of pupils
prematurely abandon
school, stopping after
getting a middle school
licence. There are
different reasons but we
can find 11 main reasons.

6. REASONS
• Being bullied
• Being bored
• School environment
• Low self-esteem
• Family issues or problems
• Teacher and school problems
• Being held back
• No one cares of student’s attendance
• The student has to make money to support his/her family
• School is not relevant to the student’s life
• Failing too many classes

7. FROM DROPOUT TO
EXCELLENCE
In the last few years our school has
developed some projects in order to
recognise pupil multiple intelligences and
to find solutions for school dropout.

8. Our school psychologist, our headmaster and our
teachers have had a great role in recognising the
reasons for dropping out.

9. Psychologist and teachers
working in team have helped
the students first in
recognising their skills and
then supported them in
improving their abilities to
achieve better results.
