Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the main factors that lead to Early School Leaving (or “Drop-out”), its consequences and the motivations and expectations that push early school leavers back to education. The phenomena investigated in the present work are Early School Leaving, Social Exclusion and Motivation for Retraining, as well as their possible linkages. More specifically, through a national study of trainees in various Second Chance Schools in Greece, we focus on the causes that forced persons to leave school, the consequences of the Early School Leaving and whether the latter are associated with the causes of the Social Exclusion and the Motivation for Retraining.
