ISOTIS researcher Cecília Aguiar (ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon) and colleague addressed the relevance of an Education Observatory in the characterization of the phenomenon of school dropout, at the kick off meeting of the project Plano Integrado e Inovador de Combate ao Insucesso Escolar da Lezíria do Tejo (PiiCiE LT), in Santarém, Portugal.

This project defines a strategy of convergent implementation of a positive, innovative, creative and excellence education, to combat school dropout and failure, and to promote educational success for 2017-2020, in the Portuguese region Lezíria do Tejo. This investment involves the development of an inter-municipal collaborative network, that can potentiate the sharing and transfer of good practices, and a positive impact.
