Improving participation rates in education and reducing the number of persons who leave the educational system prematurely has increasingly become a concern for national governments and international organizations all over the world. The current paper is the result of the documentation process for a doctoral research project on school dropout (SD) and early school leaving (ESL) in Romania and the appropriate measures that could effectively tackle these negative phenomena. Based on information compiled from periodic reports issued by the relevant authorities, we present the evolution of the two phenomena in Romania, within the last decade. The most extended section of the article is dedicated to a review of the risk factors that have been associated with SD and ESL, based on the theoretical works, research findings and relevant policies consulted during the documentation stage. In the final section of the article, we systematize the relevant aspects resulted from the documentation process and outline the improvements that would benefit future studies aimed at identifying effective solutions to reduce SD and ESL. The current paper may be of use to other researchers, when setting up the design of a study concerned with SD and ESL.

Early school leaving is a very important issue in our country, both for its individual consequences and for the social and economic repercussions. The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated some existing trends, increasing risk factors and putting at greater risk of dropout some portions of the school population. The article reflects on the phenomenon of early school leaving and on intervention options, with particular reference to the period of COVID-19 emergency. Starting from the results of two project experiences conducted in 2020 in some secondary schools of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, the contribution examines the protective and risk factors, the needs of students at risk, the contents and teaching strategies of interventions. Finally, it reflects on the different options for implementation, on monitoring and research.   Prevenire la disaffezione scolastica, l’insuccesso e l’abbandono. I progetti FSE “Last Round” ed “Energy Start” La dispersione scolastica rappresenta una questione di grande rilevanza nel nostro Paese, sia per le sue conseguenze individuali sia per le ricadute sociali ed economiche. La pandemia da Covid-19 ha acuito alcune tendenze già esistenti, ampliando i fattori di rischio e colpendo con maggiore intensità alcune porzioni di popolazione scolastica. L’articolo riflette sul fenomeno dell’abbandono scolastico precoce e sulle opzioni di intervento, con particolare riferimento al periodo di emergenza sanitaria. A partire dai risultati di due esperienze progettuali condotte nell’anno 2020 in alcune scuole secondarie delle Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano, il contributo prende in esame i fattori protettivi e di rischio, i bisogni dell’utenza a rischio di dispersione, i contenuti e le strategie didattiche degli interventi formativi. Infine, si riflette sulle differenti modalità di implementazione, sul monitoraggio e sulla ricerca.

Abstract This paper aims to emphasize the importance of the partnership between school and community for preventing early school leaving and reducing the school dropout. In order to achieve a successful partnership, it is necessary to go through some steps of “exploration-evaluation-planning-training-initiation-achievement-checking-regulation-consolidation-action-implementation-assessment”. Thus, the four conditions for achieving this process need to be respected: communication, coordination, cooperation and partnership. The educational partnership is the form of communication, cooperation and collaboration offering the optimal support to the child at the level of the educational process. It involves a unity of requirements, options, decisions and educational actions between educational factors and it is carried out within the educational act. A successful partnership implies identifying goals and common interests useful for the partners and the community, finding the optimal way to organize and manage the available resources in order to achieve the purpose, identifying the competencies of those involved in these projects in order to achieve most of them and implementing changes for the benefit of the institution. Preventing the school dropout should be the highest priority assumed equally by the school and the community. Beyond national policies and strategies which are more or less applied, each community has its own characteristics and dropout causes have different values from one community to another. So, the two entities, the school and the community, need to find personalized and coherent solutions to prevent this phenomenon, which will surely define the structure of the future generations.

The attention sustainability and its impact of social status in the class are current issues concerning the field of education are the reasons for delay in assimilating the learning material and early school dropout. Behind both of those problems stand psychological causes such as low attention sustainability, poor communication skills and lack of positive environment. The presented article aims to prove that sustainability of attention directly influences the social status of students in the class, and hence their overall development and the way they feel in the group. Making efforts to increase students’ attention sustainability could lead to an increase in the social status of the student and hence the creation of a favorable and positive environment for the overall development of the individual.
