Description

The project aims to improve the quality of educational services, especially in rural areas in 5 counties. The intervention aims to reduce the risk of early school leaving for at least 650 children at risk, improve the quality of educational services for 180 children with SEN and increase the transition rate from primary (grades I-IV) to lower-secondary (grades V to VIII) education and lower-secondary to upper-secondary education (highschool or vocational education) by 1% each. The intervention aims to improve the quality of educational services by also training 48 teachers and mediators in working methods with children at risk of dropping out of school and / or with SEN. The target groups are: children at risk of dropping out of school and children with SEN in primary and lower-secondary school in one or more of the situations of vulnerability identified by the call, mainly from rural areas in 5 counties in Romania; their parents; teachers from the 20 schools targeted by the project. The PP coordinates the implementation of the project and provides support to schools in establishing a procedure for identifying and monitoring children at risk of dropping out of school, provides training and advice to teachers in improving the quality of educational services by transferring working methods tested in other projects. P1 ensures the training of teachers in working with children with SEN. P2 ensures the transfer of good practices from Norway and the evaluation and monitoring of the project, transferring its own methods to the Romanian partners.
