The European cooperation strategy in education and training ET2020 aims at promoting equity, social cohesion, and active citizenship. One of its benchmarks is the rate of early school leaving in education and training, which should be below 10% between 18 and 24 years. This has caught our attention because of the work that still needs to be done to get there.
A wide sample of different countries has been carefully selected in order to represent as many current situations as possible.
Partners from Turkey, France, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia, and Germany made up this Project, that is coordinated by Spanish education inspectors.
The characteristic that makes this project so relevant is that the intellectual product will transcend the educational environment to impact on the whole society; also the improvements incorporated in each country will last forever.
Knowing and sharing the best experiences about ESL across Europe, once adapted, tested and assessed in few institutions of each country contribute to getting the irrevocable goal of the national educational systems convergence.
We could think that the potential beneficiaries of this project are our young people, however, they are the agents of change in our societies and a key part of the development that will take place in them. Therefore, this project benefits all of us who are part of the societies in which we work to achieve greater social inclusion and opportunities for all.
¨ GOALS
1.- Stopping early school leaving
2.- Preparing our young people for the jobs of the future (this entails among others: the use of new methodologies and ICT, the integration of sustainability in the curricula of students and the comprehension of education as a tool to make students understand throughout their education the importance of inclusiveness and gender equality in our societies for their progress)
3.- Promote girls empowerment to make gender equality a reality
4.- Boost discussions at schools that leads to social cohesion
5.- Encouraging the students to get a degree in secondary education (and that students consider the degree and the training they acquire through it as a key tool for carrying out the work to which they
aspire)
6.- Advising students to choose VET that best fits their profile promoting their inclusion in the labor
market.
¨ ACTIVITIES
1. Knowledge of current situation
2. Analyzing data and successful practices from different countries
3. Select and adapt that good practices to the organization, culture and academic structure of a different country
4. Implement them in a carefully chosen “target school”
5. Assess and compare the quantitative and qualitative achieved goals.
Expected impact is extremely high because the addition of small changes largely checked with
success in similar situations might lead to great advantages.
