High school has a critical role for students to obtain the abilities they need when they are adults, to support to community they belong to, to have valuable jobs, and to be productive members of the community. According to the Early School Leaving(ESL) report by Minister of Education in 2013; academic achievement and motivation of students, absenteeism, academic failure, unawareness of families towards education and school, the economic and social background of families, the students’ negative attitudes to school, being less trustful to school, having friends with bad behaviors and early marriages are the reasons for ESL.2015/20120 Strategic Planning of our school involves ESL problem and measurements to reduce it as the ESL rate in our school has been increased for various reasons.

First, all the teachers in the school are informed about the situation. Then a EU Project team is formed involving volunteer teachers. EU Project team present the KA2 Strategic partner school Project, which aims to reduce ESL, to Turkey NA in 2015, however this Project was not approved because lack of butget.
