Activity4 / TURKEY

This activity’s aim was to organize seminar and workshops for all stake holders. This activity was completed in December 2016.  Activity studies started by determining the risk groups at the beginning of the year.  For this purpose, questionnaires for specifying the risk were carried out on the students who started school in 2015-2016 academic year. The 76 students who    were determined in high risk group   by these questionnaires were interviewed one by one. After these negotiations it was clearly understood that these high risk group students had low-income families, also had underachievement at secondary school and 63 of them already failed the class in last year and they are repeating their class. In fact, these students stated that   they desired to continue their education; however they were unsuccessful in their classes. Their attendance to school and school success are observed regularly.

They were given seminars by psychological counselor Diyaettin AY on effective studying methods, university entrance exam and what to do for being successful.

Besides that they were enabled to participate in some of the school activities hold at school. Some of these are:

• These students attended in Museum tour
• They were enabled to take part also in organizing and designing the project clip board.
• The students’ class teachers were informed about their situations of risk.
• The students’ parents were invited to school in November and 46 of their families came to meetings and were informed about their risk situations.
