School leaving is a society matter, that falls in the responsibilities of the stake-holders’group school-family-community. The UNICEF report " Early School leaving: possible means of prevention " shows that Arges county has a high rate of school leaving. At the level of The "Dacia" Technological High school, at the end of the school year 2014-2015, we have a rise in the cases of school leaving by 10 cases more than in 2008-2009. One of the objectives of the European Strategy for 2020 is to decrease, by 10 % the rate of early school leaving, so the implementation of the project is necessary aiming to prevent and fight against school leaving. Its strategy has the priorities: identification of the students with a high risk of school leaving to keep them in school; involving families in the students' school and social rehabilitation; rising community involvement in preventing and fighting against school leaving.
