Deputy Heads have organized the work as follows: • presentation of the project to all Deputy Heads at the national level; • call for applications and selection of participants; • preparation for mobility; • learning assessment of beneficiaries and the project as a whole; • reinvestment of these achievements; • dissemination of the project results. IMPACT AND RESULTS: On students: reduce early school leaving rates On Deputy Heads: better understanding of the problem and drive devices to address the early school leaving issue On the teaching staff: find strategies to tackle early school leaving On training institutions: fulfill their Mission All these results were achieved.
