Main triggers of school abandonment Cultural prejudice ( early marriages, illiteracy of the parents, social stigmata )Cultural prejudice ( early marriages, illiteracy of the parents, social stigmata ) Economical hardships ( losing the supporting family members, children forced to work at early ages, large families )Economical hardships ( losing the supporting family members, children forced to work at early ages, large families ) Institutional shortcomings ( lack of proper training in addressing the educational needs of children )Institutional shortcomings ( lack of proper training in addressing the educational needs of children )

Practices  Neighborhood census – identifying children not registered in school  Training teachers and social workers  Helping parents register kids for school  Meetings with the parents  Attendance incentives: school kits, clothing  Monitoring children’s attendance

Programs “Second chance” ( schooling for children who are past the normal age for attending a certain grade ) ( schooling for children who are past the normal age for attending a certain grade ) After-school programs ( usually run by NGO’s )

Conclusions  No single institution seems to be able to cope with the whole range of problems related to preventing school abandonment.  The results tend to be easier to attain when employing members of the targeted community ( e.g. school mediators for the Roma community ).  Building a reputation with the local community, however lengthy that process is, seems to be the only way durable change can be implemented.
