The 8 solutions for fighting early school leaving in VET

The project “The 8 solution for fighting early school leaving in VET” could give a strong and visible signal to the European VET schools and also to find out some possible solutions for reducing the number of the early school leaving in VET.The main aim of the project is to identify the main factors of the early school leaving in VET, in order to reduce drop-outs by increasing motivation of the VET students and helping them to adapt to the Lifelong Learning Society. The project will focus on the teachers working with VET students, including groups at increased risk of early school leaving (e.g: children with a socio-economical disadvantaged background, with migrant background or with special educational needs); this because being a teacher of the mentioned group of students requires many soft skills in order to support, understand and motivate the students to continue their compulsory education and to be able to obtain a diploma/qualification/certification. It is necessary to build also the awareness of the school managers and the decision makers in the field of VET regarding the existing problem of early school leaving. The consortium includes 6 partners from 4 countries from: three from EU (NL, IT, UK), as well as an acceding country (TR). The structure of the consortium has a multi player dimension (adult education provider, voluntary organization, VET school, center for drop-outs, regional authorities).Outcomes: Tangible (Project web site; Coaching guide for teachers working in VET schools; Quality procedures for reducing drop-outs in VET schools; Collection of innovative teaching and training approaches and methods for reducing early school leaving in VET; Guidelines app for teachers working with VET students in risk of drop-out; Kit for VET schools for identifying the students in risk of drop-out; Training package for peer training for VET teachers) & Intangible (School committee quality assurance teams).Impact: short term (decreasing the number of drop-outs, through motivating VET students and training their teachers) & long term (introducing Lifelong Learning and pro-active attitude in the society and in VET schools).
