What measures can we implement to promote attendance in the early years? These are the issues that we should be discussing, and that will make it possible to prevent the high dropout rates that alarm us today.
Mr. Director,
It is not important whether 138,000 or 358,000 children and young people have dropped out of school. What is important today is how we prevent more young people from becoming part of that number.
Evidence, both national and international, shows that promoting regular school attendance at an early age has a positive impact on learning and habit formation, which in turn reduces the risk of dropping out of school.
