Description
The project objective is to increase local governments’ capacity to prevent early school leaving among Võru County’s students through innovative support service system models. The models are based on the specifics of local governments, the possibility of digital solutions and the need for county and sectoral cooperation to ensure more effective support. The project’s starting point is to make changes in the provision of support services on an evidence-based basis, taking into account local specificities and student needs as well as valuing openness and involvement.
The project activities will result in creating and piloting service models with intervention plans to increase the availability and substantive efficiency of services. The design process of service models will be carried out with various counterparts (local government education specialists, social work, youth work, health promotion, decision-makers, representatives of parents, mental health offices, the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund and students). Also, a training programme will be compiled and implemented as well as methodological seminars will be carried out to identify the need for assistance, implement inclusion and implement effective interventions.
