A short overview of the project

SCIREARLY was a three-year project funded by the European Commission that explored how to best enable children to learn, thrive in school, and complete their education. School is a vital space for every child’s development, so it is a serious concern when children struggle or leave school early.

Our consortium brought together institutions from ten European countries. We built on existing research about what works well in schools and investigated how some schools succeed in keeping students engaged and enrolled, giving children better opportunities for learning and wellbeing. Together with teachers, families, and other stakeholders, we developed research-based policies and practices to help ensure that all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Overall aim of the project

Reduce early school leaving and underachivement and foster psychosocial wellbeing of children in schools.
