School, your friend today and tomorrow
School, your friend for today and tomorrow
The project "School, your friend today and tomorrow" aims to prevent school dropout by carrying out integrated activities involving students, parents and teachers. This project responds to an increasingly acute problem affecting Romanian society at both urban and rural level - early school leaving.
According to studies carried out by the National Institute of Statistics, the Bucharest-Ilfov region recorded the largest decrease in the school population, 18% compared to the other regions. The phenomenon of school dropouts is increasingly present in areas inhabited by poor people, peripheral areas, neighbourhoods with minority populations and vulnerable groups.
The project aims to create an integrated framework involving families, teachers, psychologists and educational counsellors in the education and training of children so that the risk of dropping out of school is significantly reduced.
