“Education is not preparation for life;
education is life itself”” John Dewey
The UE has arranged five goals to be
realized, by the end of 2020, concerning occupation,
education, social integration and
reduction of poverty.
One of the most important points for us, young students , is to reduce early dropping out to 10% from the current
15%.
The scholastic dispersion has been for years a subject of debate in policies such as education and training
promoted by the UE. ESL (Early school leaving) is a social phenomenon and its
causes are not purely educational, but the quality of school education has a
strong impact on its incidence.
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, and suggest some possible solutions.
We organized our work together because:
«Teamwork shares the tasks and increases the
success”

We also met our schoolpsychologist

Meeting a psycholgist was fundamental to understand how an expert in this sector is
essential to solve the problems of the dropping out. She suggested cooperation between parents and school; in order to recognize difficulties and
activate new strategies to help pupils
We found in our research that, some guys has affermed these reasons for
the school’s drop out.I was kicked out or expelledPushed or pulled out of schoolFamily issues or problemsLost a family member or friend Financial issues and workTeacher and school problemsSchool enviroment Residential or school instabilityMental health issues I was bullied Physical or other medical problems I was a member of a gangI got pregnant/ gave birthI got into drugsI was held backNo one cared if I attendedI had to make money to support my familySchool wasn’t relevant to my lifeI became a caregiverI was boredI was failing too many classes
Percent of total dropouts:
By improving the quality of education in schools and the school system, all students
will be helped and, therefore, the risk of dropping-out will be
reduced.

In 2010 Italy failed to achieve the “Lisbon
Strategy” goal to reduce the school drop-out rate to
10%. The economic crisis contributed to the increase of “NEET” (Not in Education, Employment or Training) rates: the 22,7% of
the whole population aged 15-29 doesn’t work and doesn’t
study.
An Italian student in three drops out state high school
without completing it.CAUSES :Feeling
inadequate Choosing plans
Too many changes
Stories of young people who said no. They, one day, decided not to attend anymore. There is a great number of students
in Italy, who continue to drop out, right after the years of compulsory school, and who, at the age of twenty, when
they are adults, find themselves empty-handed, feeling lost.
This is the situation in Italy, Calabria,
Reggio Calabria and our school:
Credits: Scuola in Chiaro
In Calabria 17% of pupils prematurely abandon school, stopping after getting
the middle school licence. Another alarming fact, is the one recorded in the
area of Locri, a Calabrian town where 165 pupils have had more than 50
absences in one year, going beyond the accepted limit.The problem that today there are still such persisting
levels of scholastic dispersion.
On evidence there are the results of contrast to early school
leaving, carried out in the school years 2013/2014 and 2014/2015
in the four Regions involved in the survey: Calabria, Campania,
Puglia and Sicily. It has involved 828 schools and 51.116 students,
the most remarkable of which reveals that 94,5% of students
haven’t suspended school attendance and 88% have
passed successfully.
Accordint to a survey by Save the Children, Sicily and Sardinia have
clearly rates of scholastic dispersion superior to the Italian average; they are
followed in order by Campania, Calabria and Puglia
The situation of scholastic failure.
Early school leaving is often due to social unease: bulliying, violence, drugs,
deviant behaviour in general, etc.
