Call for projects to award grants for educational establishments for the support of students for the transition from lower to upper secondary education, on the basis of 5 indicators defined in the Early Warning Mechanism in Education.
Based on the vulnerability index on Early School Leaving, MATE schools were classified into three categories, depending on the priority of the intervention: high, medium and low.
High-priority educational units, which need immediate intervention, are considered to be those that receive a total score between 3,5 and 5 and that have several elements of vulnerability, such as a high number of substitute teachers, a rate high dropout rate, low participation rate and poor national assessment results.
These schools shall be prioritized for funding.
Eligible activities shall include: - pedagogical and support activities - extra-curricular activities - minor works and purchases of goods, - grants for pupils in vulnerable groups to ensure the transition from lower secondary to upper secondary education, to complete compulsory education, - partnerships with NGOs for support and/or extra-curricular activities.
All the measures covered by the reform are expected to be implemented by 31 December 2024.
