Acesso, Sucesso e Insucesso: PER...cursos estudantis no ensino superior público [Access, Success and Failure: student courses in public higher education]
Reducing Early School Leaving in the EU (RESL.eu).
RESL.eu aims to provide insights into the mechanisms and processes influencing a pupil's decision to leave school/training early; as well as into the decision of ESLers to enroll in alternative learning arenas unrelated to a regular school - but wherein specific creative or innovative methods of knowledge and skill transfer are used. Additionally, RESL.eu focuses on the vulnerable group of youngsters that left education or training early and are identified as NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). RESL.eu also aims to identify and analyze the intervention and compensation measures that succeeded in transferring knowledge and in keeping pupils in education/training, although they showed high (theoretical) risk of ESL. KEYWORDS: EARLY SCHOOL LEAVING, EDUCATION, PUPIL ATTITUDES
