CLOSED CONSULTATION

From:	Ministry for Education

Running till:	26 July 2021

1. Background

The first national policy for ESL (early school leaving) was published in 2015. This policy provided strategic measures aimed to be completed by 2020. Since 2018, research through EU funds has been carried out to evaluate this policy and develop the 2^nd policy on ESL. The 2^nd policy on ESL, has been planned through research recommendations and EU guidelines based on the three pillars: prevention, intervention and compensation. There are five strategic measures within each pillar. ‘Early Leaving from Education and Training – ELET – The way forward 2020-2030’ has been developed through a number of national consultations. However it is imperative that this policy goes for public consultation since ELET is a phenomena brought about by various factors that are not necessarily linked to the education side. ELET as opposed to ESL is also including vocational education together with academic routes.
