Economic hardship, child labor, gender inequality, poor infrastructure, and conflict often force children to leave school before completing their education.

Factors such as poverty, social inequality, family issues, and lack of engagement in the education system contribute to dropout rates in regions like Europe and North America. In the European Union, the early school leaving rate was around 9.9% in 2021, and in the United States, the high school dropout rate has been a persistent issue, particularly among certain demographic groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"wp-image-2122\" style=\"width: 100px;\" src=\"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5201851.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5201851.png 512w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5201851-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5201851-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5201851-465x465.png 465w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/5201851-500x500.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Early school leaving has far-reaching consequences<\/mark><\/strong>. Individuals who leave school early are more likely to face unemployment, lower lifetime earnings, and social exclusion. This, in turn, affects national economies and increases social welfare costs. In addition, a lack of education can perpetuate cycles of poverty and limit opportunities for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our project tackles learning disadvantages, ESL and low proficiency in basic skills through the provision of an adaptive and personalized educational platform based on and tailormade to the participants\u2019 individual needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us on social media to be the first to know our next steps!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/icon.greece\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/icon.greece\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/icongreece\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/icongreece\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"858\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_7173-858x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2121\" style=\"width:332px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_7173-858x1024.jpeg 858w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_7173-251x300.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_7173-768x917.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_7173-1287x1536.jpeg 1287w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_7173-1715x2048.jpeg 1715w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_7173-461x550.jpeg 461w, https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/IMG_7173-419x500.jpeg 419w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Coordinator of European Educational Programs<br><br>Vasiliki Chatziefthymiou<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early School Leaving also known as school dropout, is a global problem with<span class=\"more-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/?p=2118\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[122,125,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-xanthi","has-more-link","post-2118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-ai","category-ai4esl-artificial-inteligence-for-early-school-leaving","category-education"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2118"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2118"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2129,"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2118\/revisions\/2129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icongreece.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
