Short-skilled young adults are much less able to establish themselves in the labour market than their peers with longer education. Unfinished studies or short education are a major risk factor for long-term unemployment, crime, addiction, benefit dependency, exclusion and poor health, especially for those students who have dropped out of upper secondary school and are not in employment, education or training (NEETs). In addition to personal suffering, exclusion entails major costs for society. In Skellefteå, efforts have been made to prevent this in several ways. The TExAS Study Centre that Skellefteå municipality runs together with Urkraft is one such example. The purpose of the study centre is to support people with neuropsychiatric disabilities and mental illness to access and be able to complete studies at upper secondary school, VUX, folk high school or college/university. The problem of early school leaving and failure to complete upper secondary school is often due to several reasons. Teachers and principals have often become aware of problematic school absences already in primary school and what could complement already existing activities in Skellefteå is, above all, that more early interventions need to be developed. The study centre in its current form is aimed at pupils at upper secondary school, adult education or college, but in this project we want to test whether the method and working method could be used to reduce school absenteeism in primary school and thus reduce the risk of future school drop-outs. In this project, we therefore want to investigate and test whether the method Supported Education used at TExAS Study Center can be a way of working that also works on younger pupils in primary school to deal with problematic school absence and reduce the risk of future school dropouts. We also want to investigate whether the TExAS model could include a support structure for the Vocational Education and Training Komvux conducts to reduce the risk of dropout and thereby increase the opportunity for many to return to work. The TExAS model could play an important role in short-term vocational training where the target groups are people who need support to dare to start and complete their education. Especially the target group that has an incomplete school background and does not yet see itself as a future student again.
