The general objective of the project is to provide integrated measures to prevent and ensure equal opportunities for 270 children/students whose parents are abroad, who belong to the category of vulnerable groups, with a focus on pupils belonging to the Roma minority and students from rural areas/society-economically disadvantaged communities, in order to increase their participation in preschool and school education and to reduce their early school leaving. In the elaboration of the project we consider the Strategy for reducing early school leaving in Romania 2015-2020, a programmatic document containing mechanisms and measures to be implemented by 2020, in order to reduce the percentage of young people aged 18-24 who have completed at most the eighth grade and do not follow any other form of schooling or vocational training. The objective of the Strategy is to reduce the early school leave rate by six percent, from 17.3 % in 2013 to 11.3 % in 2020, thus reaching the target assumed by Romania under the Europe 2020 strategy. The idea of the project starts from the priorities set by the Strategy on Early Leave of School in Romania 2015-2020, through which we aim globally to increase participation in compulsory education, especially groups at risk of early school leaving and to reduce early school leaving through integrated measures to prevent and ensure equal opportunities for students belonging to vulnerable groups. According to Eurostat, in 2018, Romania recorded a high level of early school leaving of 16.4 %, as well as a low population rate between 30 and 34 years old who graduated from higher education (24.6 %). In the ranking of school dropout, our country is preceded by Spain (17.9 %) and Malta (17.5 %). On the other hand, a low level of early school leaving is recorded in Croatia (3.3 %), Slovenia (4.2 %), Lithuania (4.6 %) and Greece (4.7 %), according to Eurostat’s EU Statistics Office. The EU’s strategic objective is to reduce the rate of early school leaving by 2020. The factors that influence the student/family regarding the demand for education, according to the Strategy on Early Leave Reduction of the School in Romania 2015-2020, are: • Low level of income per family, as a financial constraint to bear the side costs of education, especially among poor and disadvantaged families • Low territorial accessibility of education services in remote rural areas • Involvement of children in seasonal work and care for younger brothers • Parent migration from some communities abroad (leading to temporary withdrawal from school) • Parents’ education level, especially the level of education of the mother • How to perceive the benefits of family schooling • Children with disabilities and needs
