©TUTORING is a community program of prevention of early school leaving, whose foundation is nested in the pro-social behavior and guidance. At the same time, the program strongly promotes equal opportunities for all, volunteering work in the community, team work, solidarity and tolerance.
In the heart of this project is the pre-school or after-school tutoring learning support session, i.e. the relation formed between a tutor (student volunteer) and his/her tutee (pupil at risk of dropout). The research shows these initiatives can positively contribute to children’s success in school. Improvements can be traced in their knowledge and learning skills and also children’s general social skills. Inevitably the successful programs of this kind require involvement and partnerships with the larger community as well as the continually expanding outreach to parents and caregivers.
